Wow, that has been here for years. You really, really can't localise names by just putting a literal translation. Using the one that is used in the respective Wikipedia instead

Comment from StephaneP
Hi!
I'm not a translation expert, but if I look at the "Place de la Concorde" on the https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Place_de_la_Concorde, I read "Platz der Eintracht".
So, name:de was right, no ?Stf

Hi, from my point, no. "Platz der Eintracht" is a German translates the _meaning_ of "Place de la Concorde" for the German reader. Note that the German article is called "Place de la Concorde", and the text always *only* uses the term "Place de la Concorde" (except for the translation).
Same for English, by the way: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Place_de_la_Concorde - only that the English Wikipedia doesn't give the translation (which would be "Place of Unity")
"name:de", in my view, should be the name that a German-speaking person would call the place. Which is "Place de la Concorde". Compare this to https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Warschau - this one has a different name in German- note that the article name here is "Warschau" (not Warszawa) and the term "Warschau" is used throughout.
