Well it’s different as in this case it’s translated from a Cyrillic alphabet. Also, I would be surprised to read Köln in English as an English name exists for the city: Cologne.
- usrnm 4y agoSo? I'm going to transliterate stuff from Russian with ё from now on, it just looks great. A language is whatever we want it to be, after all
- Andrew_nenakhov 4y agoYou'll hardly achieve anything by it, besides really breaking spellchecking software.

- 082349872349872 4y agoWhat about the other way? Would it be legit to transliterate the english nickname Pete as Пить? Много городов у вас в России))
- iakov 4y agoThat is how it is done when translating literature, right? Pete becomes Пит - just like you are pronouncing Pete.
- vkazanov 4y agoThis is not transliteration. It would be "pyotr" then. This is just using a German letter in an English text based on a purely visual similarity to a Russian letter. This is wrong on so many levels...
