Once you have more than one Language loaded, you will see the following icon in the User Interface where translation of terms is possible:


To access the translation terms, click the icon:



You can then see the Source term and Translation value for each language loaded.  Edit these like normal Odoo records:

Yes but it is not possible for Contacts' name.

It is of course not possible to translate a customer name (a customer name has legal implications), but it is of course possible to translate a product name using Odoo's common multilanguage features (load a language).

I think it is common, though, in many countries in Asia to register company names with both local language and English.

Translation needs to be possible for both company and contacts names and addresses.

For example company 阿里云 has English translation "Aliyun" - both legally refer to the same company.

The chairman 马云 is known as Jack Ma in English locales.

Likewise for addresses - there is a need for both language versions of a company's address to use in different locales.
