Bug#231446: timezone: Cities not spelled in local graphy
Rome , that bring in mind the town in georgia, and not Roma in Italia.
Athens, same (there are ones even in WV and AL) rather than
Athinai in Hellas, Moscow in Idaho rather than Moskva in Russia,
Vienna in VA rathen than Wien in Österreich ....
And this only for capitals ....
Yes, you wrote europe, but looking for a town with an unusual
spelling, expecilly if there is another well known city whose spelling is
correct is confusing. Why annoy people ?
