[edit]Let's take a quick look at how English-language books refer to the square with the help of Google Books. But considering these as general examples of usage only, with all the caveats required by the presence of diactritics (á & é; see Knepflerle's explanation). We find that:
- Kálvin tér, apart from some travel guides, appears to be used when giving addresses only.
- Kálvin Square or Kalvin Square are used in many books.
- Calvin Square, including some occasional "Kalvin (Calvin) Square", is used quite often too. Which is not surprising for a place named after John Calvin. :-)
Restricting the search for newer books (date:1990-2008) we have:
- Kálvin tér, Kálvin ter, Kalvin tér & Kalvin ter: basically travel guides, addresses and the metro station.
- Kálvin Square or Kalvin Square: ca. 25 books
- Calvin Square: ca. 40 books.
Almost all -perhaps all- appear to refer to the square in Budapest.
From this quick glance, and considering the meaning of the name, I would say that "Calvin Square" would do just fine. :-) Best regards, Ev (talk) 18:18, 31 October 2008 (UTC)
