Well.. Tuscany, Apulia, Lombardy, Sicily, Sardinia, Piedmont. Where did you find that regions don't get translated?

Mmm I had some French regions in mind, which typically don’t get translated in my own language at all (eg Côte d’Azure), but I just realized we do translate Pyrenées to “Pyreneeën” and there are probably many other examples as well.
We also translate Paris to Parijs, and Lille has an official translation to Rijsel but nobody uses that.
Sheesh if this were a codebase it would raise some serious questions about variable naming standards.
Costa azzurra in Italian, apparently.
Pretty sure we had several posts on HM related to the weirdness of translations for names.
But there are cities like Denver. Luckier than others, in that respect ;)

And Amsterdam, but TIL Rome is called Roma in Italian. :)
