racedo, would imagine that LGS6753's point is the difference between a change of name and a simple translation.

The House of Windsor, formerly Saxe-Coburg, is clearly change of name, just like Salisbury/Harare or Leningrad/St Petersburg.

On the other hand, Bombay/Mumbai or Peking/Beijing is merely a translation.

Please correct me if this is wrong, LGS6753.
