How is 'Cornelius Fudge' transliterated?

'Cornelius Fudge' is rendered phonetically in all versions except the Vietnamese, which retains the English spelling. The name is possibly related to the sweet known as a fudge and, more probably to the verb 'to fudge', which means 'to present or deal with an issue in a vague or inadequate way, especially so as to conceal the truth or mislead', something that Fudge was very good at doing.

(Korean appears thanks to "Hiro".)
