Place names known since antiquity are spelled using the ancient Latin conventions in languages that use the Latin alphabet. The international name of the river is Haliacmon (see Wikipedia) and should be written in that way in an article meant for English-speaking readers. I would not think anyone would do a web search for “aliakmonas” outside Greece.

Congratulations, nevertheless, for promoting the towns of the real Macedonia in your web pages.
