Comment from karitotp
Hi, Thank you for contributing to map. You modified and add some names in english, but according to wikidata on most of them the previous value of name:en was correct. Could you please share the source that you have used to update these name:en?
Regards.

Comment from Maturi0n
Hello!
The names I added to the map were actually used on OSM for years and were changed only recently. The previous name:en in Transnistria all were a transcription of the Russian spelling (which is used on the ground in this region). Those transcriptions are also used by the local government. Wikipedia consistently uses the Romanian names of places in Transnistria, which are never used on signs locally. The Romanian names sometimes differ greatly from the Russian names, and only a minority of the population in Transnistria actually has knowledge of Romanian. A couple of days ago, a small amount of name:en tags were changed to a strange version of the Romanian names (missing diacritics). And again, those were only like 10 out of ~200 place names in Transnistria, while the rest of the name:en tags were still using the Russian transcription. So, to get consistency and to abide to the "on-the-ground" rule, I changed the names back to their previous form which was used on OSM for years. I hope this sounds reasonable to you. -
Comment from Moldovan_Merkator
Maturion, the name:en to Slobozia is not "Slobodzeya", this name is from moldovan word "Slobod" and it translates as "free", the russian transcription is from moldovan language and not downwards, in english it has to be translated as "Slobozia", not "Slobodzeya".
- "Solnechnoe", not "Solnechnoye"
- "Speia", not "Speya"
- "Tocmazeia",not "Tokmazeya"
- "Teia". not "Teya"
- "Kolbasna station", not "Stantsiya Kolbasna".
