I don't know if it's entirely correct to call it wrong. The nearer a word comes to its equivalent in its source language, the higher the expectation that it's pronounced the same as the source language. This expectation is arguably correct when the word is not commonly used in the host language. Some words are very different. Germany/Deutschland. Florence/Firenze. Some are closer, even having the same spelling: Mexico/Mexico. I don't think it's not wrong per se to pronounce it the way its typically pronounced in the language you're speaking.
