  • This thread is full of people who think English is the only language in the world. Its not, every language calls places with their own fashion, often different from how they are called natively. Its just how stuff works when in a country people simply don’t speak the “other” language and don’t share the same sounds either.

    Calling the places with their original spelling will only create confusion because in that language, that place has a different name.

    Its called translations and its how languages work, get over it.




  • What?

    In my language we use our names for places. Like London or Paris, we have local language names. For less known places we use the original name, like New York or Birsbane.

    Most important is when the name has historical importance for our culture, we most probably have a localized name for it, otherwise we don’t.

    And no, we don’t use the “american” names at all

    Its cultural, nothing regarding respect.
