As I said before, the signs with both the English version and the phonetic version are probably the best practical compromise, but you can't get rid of the phonetic version altogether and act like it's still got anything to do with language preservation. If people actually value the preservation of the languages, it's not good enough to simply erase the sounds of the language and use English versions of the name instead.
