Maybe not in Polish (nor in Slovak) but in same languages this is indeed the usual way to import foreign words and also names. I seem to remember Bulgarian or Serbian film posters with Жан Рено (Jean Reno), because that's how it's pronounced. Also I think several East-Asian languages do this.
- brokenkebab 7y agoIt's not the same thing. When you need to import a name which is originally written in one writing system to another (here: Latin-based to Cyrillic) you have no other choice, but to re-write it.
