Do they change as the boarders change? I noticed that there is some inconsistency. For example Kraków (Polish) is spelled IIRC Krakow on the map (Polish), but Warszawa (Polish) is called Warsaw (English; English for Krakow would be Cracow, and German accordingly Warschau and Krakau). I think it would be better to call them all in original languages OR call them in language of the current ruler (but that would be quite a bog work to do) OR call them all in English/German/French/and-soon-I-hope-Polish depended on the language versions.

I'll be happy to provide you with a comprehensive list of all the Polish city names present on the GWX maps in all these languages, I'd add some Russian too, as there are some minor misspellings there.
If you're interested, my world map mod does the original name/occupier name thing!

Though it might be too many cities on the map for somebody's taste...
