BT Addon: dynamic province naming
Math5615  [developer] 8 Dec, 2019 @ 12:27am
Localised naming
This is the place to discuss or suggest localised names for BT provinces.

When suggesting localised names, could you please include the culture/country/culture group the name is for, the area concerned, the province ID # before the name, place the name in " " marks, and include any notes after a #

1.30 update now allows dynamic capital names, so now it has to be on this format:
XXXX = { "province name" "capital name" }

For example:

French :
#Flanders
8015 = { "Ypres" "Ypres" } #Notes -

Thank you.

Adding my latest Swedish batch for BT 12.0:

Swedish:

#Northern Isles
369 = "Orknöarna"
1978 = "Hjältland" #Etymology is Hilt-land, which went from old norse Hjalt to Hjält to completely disappear as a word according to SAOB (Svenska Akademins OrdBok).

#Project Pommern
7814 = "Rygård" #Transliterated. Gard technically comes from slavic gord meaning fort, but I don't want Ryborg in here in order to preserve the German identity.
47 = "Strålsund" #Translated
7842 = "Gripskoga" #Translated
2994 = "Vålgast" #Corrupted to mean something
7815 = "Trepptå" #Corrupted to mean something
7816 = "Slottsberg" #Using Schlossberg, the hill on which the castle of Usedom was located, and translating it.
7817 = "Löcknefors" #A stretch, but this was the best way I could made Löcknitz translate well into Swedish, replacing "-nitz" with the Swedish suffix for river.
1858 = "Stettin" #Same, I know, but it works in Swedish. Icelandic sagas reference the place as Burstaborg, but I'm not really willing to go into Viking toponyms for Swedish places just yet.
7818 = "Kammin" #Same.
7819 = "Pyrits" #Sort of works for now. Would like to add a suffix to this, but I couldn't think of a fitting one.
7820 = "Stargård" #Stari gord means old fort, but I don't wanna go down the route of "Gammelborg" and I would like to keep the integrity of the German naming.
48 = "Kolberg" #Same
7823 = "Bellgård" #Beli gord means white fort, but once again I don't want to ruin the integrity of German naming.
7824 = "Vippern" #Using the river Wipper that flows through Schlawe and its port, because there was no way I could make any sensible Swedish name suggestion with Schlawe/Slawno.
2995 = "Stolpe" #Actually using the name for the river, which, funnily enough, means 'pillar' in Swedish. Could be corrupted into Stolpsta or something like that, but again, I want to keep the German identity.

Great ! I will add this.

Here's for Prussia as well!

Swedish:
#Project Prussia
7825 = "Lånborg" #Transliterated
7826 = "Butå" #Transliterated
7827 = "Slockå" #Transliterated
5097 = "Pommerellen" #Using an old naming because we already have Pomeranian Stargard
7828 = "Putzig" #Same as Danzig below.
43 = "Danzig" #Not changing it, as it works.
2997 = "Tyckele" #Tuchel, with a Northern Swedish twist that I kind of like.
7829 = "Marievärden" #Werden can be interpreted as an old spelling of 'host' in Swedish, and so I use that here.
1841 = "Älvinge" #Using Elbing which exists in the province to avoid duplicate Marienburgs.
2958 = "Österåd" #Transliterated
42 = "Helsberg" #Transliterated
41 = "Kungsberg" #Transliterated
7833 = "Pillå" #Transliterated Pillau which is also in the province, and arguably more important in Swedish history.
7834 = "Tapeio" #Using Tapiau instead of Neuhausen because Neuhausen exists in Livonia.
7864 = "Bartensten" #Transliterated
7836 = "Velå" #Transliterated
7835 = "Ångerborg" #Transliterated
3224 = "Insterborg" #Transliterated
7837 = "Tillsel" #Transliterated and somewhat corrupted Tilsit to mean something.
40 = "Memelborg" #Just adding -burg because it was commonly known as Memelburg, not just Memel, which is the river.

More Swedish!

#More Colonial West Africa
1126 = "Elfenbenskusten"
1119 = "Sädeskusten"
1163 = "Kalabar"
1164 = "Kamerun"

#Antilles
5581 = "Tobaksholm" #Tobago is said to be named due to its resemblance to a cigar.
5585= "Gustavia" #Capital of Swedish St. Bartholomy
496 = "Guadeloupe" #Probably a French spelling, but for the very short time that Sweden owned it, this is what it was known as.

No problem, btw I think the current version still uses swiss cultural naming instead of SWI tag naming (like "Züri" instead of "Zürich") which I already wrote about in the other thread why I don't like it as the author of both versions of province naming if it has to be either one or the other. - Unless there's a reason you kept it like that.
Math5615  [developer] 29 Dec, 2019 @ 2:50pm 
I didn't touch anything regarding swiss naming, I didn't even know that there was an issue with it tbh. Though ok, I can change that. So you want me to replace swiss culture naming with the one from SWI tag ?

Maybe to archive swiss for now and make it so the SWI tag naming loads for the Swiss tag again.
Math5615  [developer] 29 Dec, 2019 @ 3:04pm 
Yes, I'll do that. Thank you.
Argakyan 31 Dec, 2019 @ 2:59pm 
small correction: 282 in Turkish (or oghuz) is rn localized as Özü like it's neighbouring province, it needs to be Hacibey. 284 needs to be corrected to Orkapi.
Math5615  [developer] 2 Jan, 2020 @ 6:21am 
Ok, thanks for the report. Though it is already set like that in the turkish file so that's odd. I'll see what I can do.

Maybe there are two entries in the file and one of them isn't inhibited by a hashtag. Idk
Math5615  [developer] 2 Jan, 2020 @ 8:14am 
I verified this but no, I even added at the end of the file the corrections you told me but it didn't change the naming of the province 282.
