Province names correction

[unmerged(81141)]

I think that all province names in game should be written in same way. I have noticed that although majority of province's names are written in their languages, but some are written in english. For example:

-Munich instead of München;
-Prague instead of Praha;
-Vienna instead of Wien;
-Belgrade instead of Beograd;
-Warsaw instead of Warszawa;
-Moscow instead of Moskva;
-etc, etc...
I think that since 98% of province's names are written in official languages of those countries, then these should be also.
And If I have forgotten any, please post. Thank you.

Maby this is becouse those 98% wich are writen in their orginal lanagues dont have english names.

You could do it if you like, but it doesn't really substract from the immersion to me. Also, there's the problem of writing: Moskva isn't correct as it's just a transcription of the cyrillic. You'd have many problems for countries with languages that don't use the Latin alphabet.

I know that you could change names in exel tables, but the province names still remain on map, so the graphics of the map should be changed.

I know about what you are talking, since my native language is cyrillic.
Moskva = Москва, Beograd = Београд... That is why i have proposed in the other thread that new letters should be added, atleast new latinic, cyrillic and greek alphabet symbols, since most of players I think play with European countries, and these writings are use in Europe.

But not everyone knows how to read them. Also, it then is the question of having the correct writing but little person knowing how to pronounce it, or having a transcription which allows most people to at least mimic the correct pronunciation.

Well, this game is highly educative (according to richness in historical data), so it could be educative even in linguistical area. And about pronunciation. Somethimes if you do not understand the meaning of something, the pronunciation is not so important.

But you do know the meaning here - it's a geographical area.

Yes, I know. I have thought about all names in game. The pronunciation is not so important if you do not know what means "Stratiotis diairesi" or "Gyalog hadosztaly" or "Czechoslovak vzdusne sily armady" or "Polici Kembeshori Pjesetim" or "Strateski bombarderski puk".
And the namechanges I suggested in starting post are not very different of the existing game names (Warsaw -> Warszawa; Prague -> Praha...).
