Alphabets used for I-129F

[dalatian 4]

I'm filing for I-129F and need to enter the address of the beneficiary from Poland. Polish writing is of Roman-based characters but there are some characters that do not exist in the Latin alphabet. For instance, the province named Śląsk in Polish is translated as Silesia in English. Should I use the English translations everywhere in the form but enter the native writings in box 16 for clarification/correction? (To make matters worse, Slask can also be understood as Silesia in Poland). Thank you.

thanks much, ania. it's really confusing because why do we use 'poland' instead of 'polska' for country and not 'silesia' instead of 'śląsk'/slask? (poland is an english translation for polska as with silesia for śląsk). thanks again.

If there is more than one way to translate it into English, take this opportunity to pick the spelling that you want.
