I am trying to find a way to convert the geonames database names that are not in a standard english/latin type alphabet into their native typeface.

Jerusalem= ירושלים


etc

I am furthermore needing to store this uniformation in an sqlserver 2005 database in a nvarchar field for display on a website so the site is multilingual.

Does the geonames database exist in multilingual format that can be imported into sql server as a tab delimited file?

Yes, GeoNames places names are available in a huge number of languages. You find the translations in the file alternatename.zip.
