Leuven or Louvain?
"No confusion in Belgium, as the Flemish university is called 'Katholieke Universiteit Leuven,' and the Walloon university is called the 'Universite Catholique de Louvain.' However,... in English, these both translate to 'Catholic University of Louvain.' . . ." [e-mail correspondence from Hans De Sterck to Bob Henson, 26 Jan 2000]
To avoid confusion, preserve the idiosyncratic spelling of the city in each language:
Katholieke Universiteit Leuven—Catholic University of Leuven
Universite Catholique de Louvain—Catholic University of Louvain
