[Talk-GB] City names translation

[Brian Prangle]

Pavlo

If your ukrainian naming convention will be of use to your fellow
ukrainians (e.g encouraging them to learn about our cities or visit them)
then please go ahead and good luck! This can only be a good thing in my
opinion. Having an extra language tag on my home city doesn't matter to me
- I won't  understand it so I won't add to the debate - only Ukrainainans
really need worry about spelling and naming - it's their language after
all. Good luck and thanks for being polite and raising the issue in a
debate with local mappers

Regards

Brian
