    I believe that the general convention in both British and American English — though I’m sure that it’s not consistently followed everywhere — is to use “the other guy’s” spellings for proper nouns for things that were named on the other side of the Atlantic. Like, we in the US will normally refer to the British “Labour Party”, even though that’s not how we spell “labor”.
