A fair few doesn’t have a good pronunciation in other languages that those native speakers can reliably understand. That’s why we have localizations in the first place. Here in Sweden, Turkey (Turkiet) doesn’t sound like the bird (kalkon). It makes more sense to show the localized name and their internal name next to each other, and this is already common in many maps.
