Sorry I've not had time to get to Dalmatian, real life was busy. I had some issues getting the Germanic gods names to change. I got them to change in most of the event text. But not the UI. Good enough for now.

Sorry if this seems a silly question, but is this mod updated for 3.0.1? I'm not clear on that.
Here the new version, I had to copy over the code that paradox added in the last patch. I've also fixed/added more Crimean Gothic place names and titles.
In landed_titles they added crusade weight for Hellenistic pagans and defined capitals for some duchies. They also added some changes to the code for castration so that some blood lines would allow for the option.
Small update: I've gone through the byzantine empire and added historical Latin names or Latized spellings for all the counties and duchies. I'm also working on filling the gaps in roman localization I have in France and Switzerland.
That saves me time. I've been working on the following:
Filling gaps in France, Spain, Italy.
Completing e_britannia, e_germania, e_carpathia, e_pontic_steppe, k_pomerania, k_mesopotamia, k_iraq, d_azerbaijan, d_orkney, and roman parts of e_arabia and e_maghreb.
I just need to finish Cyrenaica and I'll upload what I have. What do you mean by 'latinized spelling'?

It's mostly changing k to c and -ion to -ium in greek words to create a Latin form. Here is d_bucellarian: in greek it's "Boukellarion" so Latin is Bucellarium. Another case where I had to something similar Afragola in southern Italy. I could not find a Latin form of any type so I made the Latin form Aphragula. In Italian Romance languages f uselessly represent Greek ph and in other italian words -gola is from vulgar Latin -gula.

I finished everything I planned to do:

I wasn't satisfied with simply using whatever roman/latin names I could find, I chose to look for etymologies to make new names and barring that, Modifying existed names following Roman & Catholic precedents. Although sometimes, The existing names would sound so much like Latin that I would just use those.
My sources:
Wikidata & Google web page translator: I found that versions of Wikipedia in local languages tended to have more info then the English one. I would use wikidate to see what languages were available for a given page and the webpage translator did the rest.
Orbis Latinus online: Europe
Digital atlas of the roman empire
The Record Interpeter: A Collection of Abbreviations, Latin Words and Names used in English Historical Manuscripts and Records.
The last entry was used for the British Isles and Orkney.

I'll take a look, I'm ready to upload a new verison I've managed to find/create 10-11 more Latin names for baronies that I had missed this far.
I've got a new version ready. I've done about 20ish more roman place names either translations like Insulae Aegaei for d_aegean_islands. Romance place names that were translated to Latin based on their etymology, Bastilicaceam for b_bastelicaccia. I also found a few more historic roman names for Slavic counties in the Balkans. I also finally changed the name in the mod section of the loading menu to "More dynamic cultural names." The mod is now up to date with the latest patch.

I've done some big additions and changes for all African, Arabic, and Persian cultures. Want me to post them? Now these names should flow through seamlessly.
The changes are:
Added translations and names for all male African, Arabic, and Persian cultures.
Added names and translations for male Turkish.
Minor revisions to male Norman, and all male Russian cultures.
Enabled Muslim names for Visigoths and Basques. You can comment them out like in vanilla if you want to.
I've also attached a religion text file. This has a lost of names only available for certain religions. So I've revised these as well. This way, you won't have pagans named Abdullah or Christians named Abu-Bakr. The religions text is in it's own folder within "romantitles".

I've tried adding some title translations for Coptic kings and emperors. I haven't found much about them with titles, and using Ancient Egyptian titles might be a stretch.
Yeah, I looked into Coptic as well and couldn't find much either. The thing we don't need to use ancient Egyptian words, but if we can find a ancient word it might be possible to find the Coptic form of the word/title. But I tired that approach and found nothing.
We would use some Greek titles as a place holder. I imagine a medieval Coptic kingdom would use some Greek titles as Coptic has a large Hellenic influence within.
You might be on to some thing.
