[REL] Universal Name Packs [1.27–1.31] [UPD 2018-09-26] [FROZEN]
Posted: 25 Jul 2017 04:06
As you have noticed, this series of mods has unfortunately been frozen for a long time, more recently mostly due to the very major changes to toponymy in the game (toponymic localization etc). I may however revisit this aspect of the game soon, and perhaps reboot these mods in some form. Thank you for your understanding!
The Universal Name Packs rewrite toponyms (place names) across several popular maps so as to ensure that they are correct, consistent and conform to certain strict conventions. There are different mod variants for different conventions. Use whatever variant suits you best. For Poland Rebuilding there are separate compatibility add-ons.
The mods also rewrite company and cargo definitions across the maps so as to ensure that company names are correct, consistent and conform to similar conventions as the toponyms, and that cargo names are correct, consistent and in English. For the ProMods Trailer & Company Pack there is a separate compatibility add-on. Additional translation mods will clash and neither need nor should be used.
The mods also rewrite country definitions so as to ensure that country names, time zones and other data are correct, consistent and conform to similar conventions as other toponyms. Since fuel prices are set in the country definitions, these mods also by necessity update them. Additional fuel price mods will clash and neither need nor should be used.
Examples: With the hybrid unromanized and romanized variants, the capital of Adygea in Russia is displayed on the map as Майкоп (Maykop)/Мыекъуапэ (Myeqw’apä) and in the job lists and the route adviser as either Майкоп or Maykop, depending on the variant in use. With the unromanized only variant, the same city is displayed on the map as Майкоп/Мыекъуапэ and in the job lists and the route adviser as Майкоп. With the romanized only variant, the same city is displayed on the map as Maykop/Myeqw’apä and in the job lists and the route adviser as Maykop. With the anglicized variant, the same city is displayed everywhere as Maykop and the capital of Russia as Moscow.

**Due to conflicts with other maps, some cargo and company names cannot be treated correctly in SibirMap.
Because of missing ranges in the UI font, the Romanian S and T with comma below are written with cedillas, the Azeri inverted E is written as A with umlaut, and Kazakh endonyms are written in the revised Kazakh Roman alphabet announced in 2018 rather than in the Kazakh Cyrillic alphabet; G with accent is however also missing and the accent is thus dropped. Arabic is missing entirely and is thus always romanized; H with cedilla is however also missing and the cedilla is thus dropped.
More detailed descriptions are available on the Steam Workshop. Quite some work has gone into QA, but mistakes may absolutely have sneaked in. If you happen to find any, I'd be happy for a report in the comments. Constructive criticism, suggestions and ideas are welcome, too, as are any questions. I hope you find these mods useful. Happy trucking!
