Not just Spanish, just about every other European language except English.
- notfromhere 7y agoOn an English-language forum, the context is pretty obvious.
- NicoJuicy 7y agoComing from Belgium and speaking English a lot. Obviously, no
- notfromhere 7y agoIn the English language, Europe is the name of the continent, and Europa is the name of the moon orbiting Jupiter - in fact, its the first google response that comes up on English-language versions of it.
- NicoJuicy 7y agoLol, translate Europe from English to Dutch ( my mother tongue) I have an edge case for 15 million people in Europe ;)
- brmgb 7y agoAnd French. Also, it's εὐρώπη in Greek so Europe is the logical transliteration. I find it weird that the moon is called Europa in English however. French uses Europe for both.
- empthought 7y agoThe moon is named for the mythological consort of Jupiter, which has always been "Europa" in English.
- brmgb 7y ago> The moon is named for the mythological consort of Jupiter The continent too yet their spellings differ. That is the weird part.
