[Talk-GB] City names translation

[Pavlo Dudka]

Let's check Liverpool http://www.openstreetmap.org/node/21421501
I see set of names on different languages.
Ukrainians call it Ліверпуль. I don't know how this word appeared in
ukrainian language, it just appeared hundreds years ago.
Why should one require discussion to enter name:uk?
