Translations.
The more general anglicisation of place names (or toponyms) most visibly occurs when a non-English language name is used in an English-language environment. In the case of place names this is commonly termed use of English exonyms for the foreign-language endonym. In the case of emigration or colonization and loss of the local language the English exonym may supplant the local endonym place name entirely.
