Localised and dynamic province naming
This thread can be used to suggest, contribute or report problems regarding dynamic naming and localisation of provinces in LiT.

Just like real life, EU4 allows for different naming of the same province depending on the language of the game, or depending on the culture of the owner.

An example would be Milán/Milano/Medionalum for Milan province. However, due to how difficult this can be to research for non-native people from a specific language, or because the developers just couldn't find the time to do it due to having other priotiries, many provinces lack dynamic naming in one or several cultures. Some do not have dynamic naming at all.

Others have wrong names leftover from vanilla due to having been repurposed or further detailed in LiT.

For this reason we greatly thanks any suggestions about a language you know about, or that you think should be included, about any province of the game. Likewise, we encourage people to report any dynamic naming that they notice is off or wrong.

If you object to a current dynamic name you've encountered and want to suggest a replacement, this is also welcome, but please keep it respectful.

If suggesting a large batch of dynamic names, it would be most helpful if you could include the culture/country/culture group the name is for, the province ID # before the name, place the name in " " marks, and include any notes after a #

Example:
#Iberian group
97 = "Holanda"

#Brazilian culture
197 = "Rossilhão"

Thanks a lot.

First of all, I absolutely love this Mod, you have done a great job!!

I´m playing in german and suggest two dynamic names for countries:
STO could be Stolpen and
BV1 could be Bayern.
I don´t know anything about tags so sorry if you need one for this.

Hope this helps and thanks for your work!

Hello @Burgunderjunge
Thanks for the suggestion, but sadly tags can't have dynamic naming. That'd be a translation to another language, and currently we only support English.

Spanish translation might come in a future update. For other languages we can't offer support right now sorry but if someone wants to translate the mod to a different language, then by all means we will welcome it.

Hello, wonderful mod, but there is a double Mariupol for Russia - one with Maruipol as the capital city another - with Kyzyl-yar and nearby the Kyzyl-Yar province with Kyzal-Yar capital.
Screen for province naming:

In addition - Suppose for Russia, these places may be called:
Wrong Mariupol - Berdi/Berda (19th century name) /Novo-Nogaysk (16th century name) (As the different names of Berdyansk in Russian Empire and even before.

Slight issue I noticed in the San Francisco area - the Portuguese and Castilian (and possibly others) have the incorrect names. Province 5030 is marked as "San Francisco", when its actual geographic location is province 2021. Province 2021 is instead marked as Santa Rosa, which goes to the north (the one above I think, but I haven't checked the vanilla files to confirm).

Otherwise I love the mod!

Hello, suggestions for Albanian names to provinces with Albanian culture/neighbouring Albania that had historical connection to Albania.
XX -> ALB
Egiri - Gjirokastër
Yanya - Janinë
Ohrid - Ohër
Uskup/Skopje - Shkup
Prizren - Dukagjin, since the area is called rrafshi i Dukagjinit (plateau of Dukagjin) but the city is named Prizren
Scutari - Shkodër
Kotor - Tivar
Crna Gora - Mali i Zi
Pristina - Prishtinë
Nis - Nish
Novo Brdo - Artanë (Novobërdë)
Prevesa - Prevezë
Arta - Artë
Kesriye/Kastoria - Kosturi

And since Constantinople is often the goal when you play in Balkans, it would be called Konstantinopojë if you occupy it as Albania
