Yes, we, Japanese use LibreOffice name in latin characters. But some Japanese media hava a rule to use in Katakana, phonogramic character, so we have to write "リブレオフィス." It's a special case. Basically "Libre" is not so famous word in our company, so we sometimes need to describe "Libre means freedom (in Japanese, 自由)" but we don't translate the LibreOffice name itself because it's a proper name.
