You mean local names? I am guessing that those are small towns that do not Anglicized names. Nergaal (talk) 02:49, 18 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
I mainly meant "Chornobyl'" instead of "Chernobyl" and "Kyyivs’ke vodoskhovyshche" instead of "Kiev reservoir", but there are others. Makeemlighter (talk) 03:15, 18 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Aren't there FP maps with captions inside the image already?
There are heaps. [1], as one example. Where does it say colour keys should be only in the caption? Aaadddaaammm (talk) 10:45, 18 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
In fact, Wikipedia:WikiProject Maps generally requires keys inside the image. If the image is printed or used elsewhere, a key on the Wikipedia page doesn't help. Matthewedwards :  Chat  17:30, 18 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment I've translated as much as I can to English using en:wiki article names where there are multiple English versions. If I missed anything or another name is preferred, I'll gladly change those too. Makeemlighter (talk) 23:31, 18 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you! Nergaal (talk) 17:28, 20 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Done. Makeemlighter (talk) 21:55, 22 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
