@irrationalsense@Rim00o@aratxkitto This “confusion” is mostly an English-speaking problem anyway. In Romance languages, colombina immediately reads as “little dove” or relates to colomba, not Colombia. Most people wouldn’t even make that leap unless they were looking for it.
@irrationalsense@Rim00o@aratxkitto You're acting like Colombia is some obscure country nobody's heard of. It's one of the most recognizable countries in Latin America. If someone can't distinguish a fictional name from a real country with context, that's a reading comprehension problem
@irrationalsense@Rim00o@aratxkitto You’re treating English spelling conventions as if they’re the universal standard. They aren’t. A global audience is perfectly capable of encountering foreign names without having them rewritten to fit English orthography.
@irrationalsense@Rim00o@aratxkitto If the localization philosophy is to make Italian names more familiar to English speakers, then the same principle should apply to every name. Yet names like Tartaglia, Pulcinella and Arlecchino remain unchanged despite being just as unfamiliar and arguably HARDER to pronounce.
