Comment from Minh Nguyen
Hi, the main name key is ideally intended for the name of the feature in the language spoken or written locally at the time, which would’ve been Akkadian or Sumerian cuneiform. Greek wasn’t correct but neither is English. Changeset 172797 substitutes the cuneiform name. That said, we just launched an improvement to the site so you won’t notice any change: now every feature is labeled in the language in your account preferences (that is, English), as long as this language is explicitly tagged alongside the primary name.
