Rename applications - without submission

Hi,
I have a question about an application's name, and localized name.
We develop a trivia game, and we have 15+ separated applications for different countries.
We're gonna release a new version of the game in November, but we decided to have only one application which will contain all the localized versions.
When we'll upload the new app, we'd like to add several localized names and descriptions. But we'd like to use the well-known names.
So how we can use the same name at the localization as we already used for an application's name?
For example we have the Triviador Russia application (it's for the Russian players, it's a separated app now).
The new app will contain the Russian version too and will be localized to Russia, and we would like to use Triviador Russia as the localized name of the app.

Should we rename the existing applications? How we can do that without uploading and submitting a new version?

Thanks for your help!
Cheers,
Anett

How we can do that without uploading and submitting a new version?

You can't do that. Updating an app to a new version is the only method that allows app name change in the store.

we would like to use Triviador Russia as the localized name of the app.

You can do that, in fact, it is allowed and quite common to use unique names when localising an app.

Good luck.
You can also change the name that appears on the Home Screen by setting the value of CFBundleDisplayName in your InfoPlist.strings and have it match the localized name in the App Store.
