I won't try your mod, as it was widely commented as GWX noncompatible by GWX team members and I won't risk my GWX install. I'd like to have this reach map, but I also presume it could break my computer that allready has big troubles coping with the GWX demands.

Hmm, I understand, but it could be made simpler by omitting the 'strange' letters. I don't suppose any non-Polish speaker would be ever able to properly pronounce for example '£ód¼', so there's no need to keep it as much original. You can name it 'Lodz' and still it will be ok. As to Russian, there are widely used rules of writing Russian using Latin alphabet, so every name could be written in Latined Russian: Moskva (Moscow), Sankt-Peterburg (Saint Petersburg), Rostov-na-Donu (Rostov-on-Don) etc. The same applies to Arabic names: Al-Qahira (Cairo), Al-Quds (Jerusalem). And so on.
The most important thing is
consistency. If it's English, it should be always English. If it's original, always keep the original spelling.

They WERE all in English but somewhere between file changes some got switched again
The files will be redone in the spring update |
If you would be needing any assistance, you've got my hands to help. I could check spelling of every city name of Poland, Russia (and sattelites) and all the Arabic countries, to be sure they are all correct. These small details is what I love in GWX.
