Description
Endonymia: Dynamic City and State Renaming

This mod changes all States and Victory Points to the names used by the controlling country in 1936. Additionally cities and states are automatically and dynamically renamed to the occupier's language when another country controls it.

Endonymia v0.3.2 Updated to 1.16 Graveyard of Empires
0.2: SPQR Update: Latin names for all Roman Empire states and cities
0.3: Siberia and Mongolia Update: Russian, German, Chinese, Japanese, Mongol and Tatar names for Siberia

Features:
  • Ideology dependent names: Stalingrad -> Volgograd, Sevastopol -> Theodorichshafen...
  • German names for all of Europe and Africa, Middle East, Central Asia, Siberia, Polynesia...
  • English names for all of Europe and Africa, Middle East, South Asia...
  • Colonial and native names in Africa, Asia and America
  • Gaelic names for Wales, fascist Ireland and fascist Scotland
  • Japanese names for Korea, all Siberia, parts of China, Southeast Asia, Polynesia...
  • French names for France, Iberia, Benelux, Germany, Britain, Middle East, Africa, Balkans...
  • Dutch names for France, Benelux, Germany, Britain, Africa, Indonesia...
  • Italian names for France, Balkans, Middle East, North Africa, Iberia...
  • Greek names for historical Byzantine land and all possible cores
  • Latin names for all core-able states and cities of the Roman Empire
  • Turkish names for all historical Ottoman lands
  • Arabic names for Arabia, North Africa, Iberia, Sicily...
  • Danish, Swedish, Norwegian, Finnish and Icelandic names for all Nordic lands and Karelia
  • Russian names for all USSR, Mongolia and Eastern Europe up to the Iron Curtain
  • Polish and Lithuanian names for former Commonwealth lands
  • Languages of the Soviet republics: Tatar, Kazakh, Ukrainian...
  • Languages of the releasable tags: Basque, Catalan, Occitan, Sami, Vietnamese, etc.
  • And much more!

703 States implemented
4110 Unique state renaming entries
74 Language types

Most minor languages and nations have translations for states with cores, in their surrounding region or historical territories.
Some translated names are very literal or theoretical, but all manually selected for accuracy.
The Endonyms used are transliterated into latin text, using the diacritics supported by the game.
In absence of a unique translated name for a state it will revert back to the English/common form.

I have been working on this project off and on for several years as a passion project to optimise my immersion. This mod should remain working on existing States and Victory Points if they aren't changed in future updates.
Future content: India, Iran, China, America, whatever people suggest.

GFX mods used in screenshots: FPS Map, White Map Font, Non Reflective Water and lastly my personal modified flag, country name and Kaiserreich Colors mod

Not compatible with Ironman Mode or Achievements
Not compatible with mods that overhaul Victory Points or States

Thank you for succeeding Country-Dependent City and State Names and DSCR when I couldn't. I will be happy to discuss a compatibility patch for RK+ :steamthumbsup:

@BaconBear99 is it possible for you to make a kaiserreich / kaiserredux compatible version of this mod?
BaconBear99  [author] 10 Dec, 2024 @ 6:30am 
@adrianjpay Unfortunately not since that would require rewriting about a third of the state renaming entries in this mod, as r56 changes a lot of state and city names and locations from vanilla.
adrianjpay 7 Dec, 2024 @ 10:25am 
can you make it r56 compatible pls?

Thanks for the great mod.

Now I only need an updated endonym country names mod.

Just checked it out. Very nice and quick fix.

Will do.

@Blåmejsen Hey, yea fascist puppets of Germany are meant to use German names, but the mod wasn't updating after puppeting, only changes in ideology and state controller.
I was luckily already working on reformatting the code and it now works for changes in subject status in this new update, so this is fixed now!
Please let me know of any other bugs
(Also let me know about mods that add more tags that this mod could be made compatible with)

Hey BaconBear

Very nice mod. One small thing. When I form Reichkommisariats, they don't use German names. Is this intentional?
