Rename Colonge back to Koeln

[Kiith]

This in my eyes was another case of "It wasn't broken, why fix it?". Pls gib Koeln back.

And Muenchen too, while you're at it.

Honestly I would like to know what the exact reason for this change is? It just seems like another senseless change that has no proper background, maybe someone can explain why exactly it was changed. Simply a small explanation would be nice.

[Kazinsal]

I don't much care either way but clearly the majority of the community does.

Seems like something to hotfix IMO.

I do get why München was changed to Munich. It sounds almost identical, but it's way easier for english speakers to pronounce. I mean have you tried saying "München"?
However with Köln I don't quite get it. It's not that hard, and in my opinion - as a german, to say the least - it just isn't fitting with Rheinland. I mean, it just sounds *way* too french.
That'd be like switching Ile-de-France to "Isle of the French" because it's english. Just doesn't fit, imho

[Skorak]

It's New Berlin and not Neu Berlin.

I'm glad this is consistent. If English has a word for it as they seem to for Munich, use that.

Then please, in fact, do change Île de France to Isle of France. To keep with the consistency you wish to establish.

Edit: Pardon, me, maybe a quick shot seeing how you are not involved with the devs as far as I know. But still.

Some names aren't translated literally and are adopted in their native language form. Île-de-France is such an example.

Things are not pointless when people clearly care about them.

Then please, in fact, do change Île de France to Isle of France. To keep with the consistency you wish to establish.

I see. Point taken.

I can understand the change that everything has to be in english but it just looks horrible.

I think as long as nobody makes a thread or a vote that colonge sounds for him better or looks better. Such changes shouldn't happen.

Often it looks like such changes get decided behind closed doors in a bunker deep in the middle of nowhere and the community has to live with the changes. As community shouldn't we all have a chance to decide such things before they happen ?
