Line 302: For ordinar, ye hiv uised Saunt insteid o "Saint".<br /> Shoud we chynge hit here an aw? [[User:Varlaam\|Varlaam]] ([[User talk:Varlaam\|talk]]) 02:52, 7 Januar 2013 (UTC) :If we are sticking with English here, then what is our overall method? :Saint Petersburg, Russia is a different case, since that will be a translation from Sankt Peterburg. Translating into one's own language is normal. :But then we have: [[New York Ceety]] [[Quebec Ceety]] [[Oklahoma Ceety]] [[Salt Lake Ceety]] :The last is semi-translated; it could be "Saut Loch Ceety", but I think that would be farcical. :In English, we have a precedent that big places have an English name, but for little places, we use the local name. :So, in Italy, we use Rome (Roma), Florence (Firenze), Venice (Venezia), Milan (Milano), Turin (Torino), Genoa (Genova), Naples (Napoli), Syracuse (Siracusa), Mantua (Mantova), and sometimes Leghorn (Livorno). Florence is better Latin than Firenze is. :In general, translating placenames is a nuisance and can create confusion at best and derision at worst. :Ceety and Coonty are clear though; no one is going to be confused by those. They had flavour, and local colour. :You evolved our ongoing house style, which is fine, but where are you mentally drawing the line at translating? :[[User:Varlaam\|Varlaam]] ([[User talk:Varlaam\|talk]]) 18:54, 10 Januar 2013 (UTC) == [[Helena (Montana)‎]] ==
