Need some Tag standardization

Question

Recently I posted a question to remove hindu as it makes no sense, same way, some users are tagging questions with hindi words, so we have to decide whether we are sticking with those, or we are going to mark them as synonyms?

Personally I think we should tag in English as much as possible, unfortunately we cannot use in few like gods names, for hell and heaven etc, but some tags are just getting duplicated badly, for example..

What they are using               What should be there (They are already using some of these too)

jyotish / astrology                astrologer / astrology

jiva                                        life

afterlife                                   after-life (As we are using a - for life-span)

yamalo / yamaloka                yamaloka  

                                                  (I don't think this suits well here, so we should stick with yamaloka)

cows / animals                    animals

buddhism / the-buddha           Off topic as we have a separate site for that now and for some reason                                                   we need to ask a cross religion question than we should consider                                                   writing gautama-buddha instead of just the-buddha                                                   or better refer other-religions ^[1]

dhoti / dress                       dress

beef / food                         food

atma                                       aatma / soul

festivals / diwali / holi      festivals

bhagavad-gita /

bhagvada-gita                           bhagavad-gita

deva / gods                        gods

vrata / fasting                     fasting

other-religions /

buddhism / islam /

christianity                              other-religions ^[1]

So as you see, so many tags are used on the left hand side are already duplicated, can be called as synonyms, but with two different languages, so please decide are we going to stick with the Hindi versions or with the English ones.

^{Don't get confused with the tags at the bottom, they are not the part of the actual answer :)}

Answer 1

I believe it would be antithetical to scholarship to translate these tags into English. The Sanskrit versions should include multiple English translations if possible so that they show up no matter what is typed in.

Also, Philosophy students in the West are taught to think of many Sanskrit terms as Eastern counterparts to key ancient Greek & Latin terms. The pedagogical efficacy of this aside, it is probably beneficial to add relevant classical philosophy terms in italics to the descriptions as well. E.g., most English speakers cannot decide what is the difference between "spirit" and "soul," but scholars will understand

ātman : psyche :: prāṇa : pneuma.
