>post how your city is called in other languages.
>tell me which one you like the best
I live in Olsztyn.

It's Allenstein in German, Olštynas in Lithuanian, Allenstenium in latin, Alnāsteini in old Prussian and Holstin in old Polish.

I like Holstin the most out of those. I wish they didn't change it.

>Austin, Texas
>too irrelevant to be translated into other languages
don't even know what it's called in spanish tbpf
>>
>>76314005
Yeah new world cities have it harder, especially US ones because everyone uses the same name for it.
>>
>São Paulo

Never understood why they don't translate the name. The city would be much more popular if it was known internationally as Saint Paul.
>>
>>76314031
I was in Saint Paul USA, I think they'd have a problem with that.

Anyway a city called Święty Paweł(Saint Paul) would be funny.

Euro cities have quite a few names.

For example a lot of eastern German cities have polish names, like Cottbus is Chociebuż, Dresden is Drezno, Kiel is Kilonia because at some time they were part of Poland or in west slav territory.

>>76314005
Here it's called Ostin.

It's Ryga here though and as a person who did travel a lot it's a very underrated place, for sure it's the best looking Baltic states capital.
