Because a binomial nomenclature is a universal name, that refers to the same thing throughout all countries, regardless of language. Latin is universal for two reasons: 1) historicaly scientists used this language; that practice has been on-going for some time, so there is a predominance of Latin terms in science. This tends to encourage all scientists to learn some Latin, which perpetuates its usefulness. 2) It is a "dead" language in that no one speaks it natively. Therefore it will no longer change. Therefore it is consistent and so easy to use.
