Name of my native city is given in Russian transliteration

[Oleksandr]

During Ubuntu installation I can't choose Kyiv as location - only Kiev proposed. But it is not Ukrainian transliteration - this is Russian pronounce. Also "Kyiv" not in write checking dictionary - writing this message I see it marked as error.

An example of proper name: http://www.kyivpost.ua/

Hope to see Kyiv in next release

Also when I'm choosing city location on the map - Ubuntu identifies this location as Kiev.

natty have reached EOL now

@ 9d9

Whilst, natty is EOL, the service that provides location names is still not providing alternative spellings.

So is that issue still alive ?

[Expired for ubiquity (Ubuntu) because there has been no activity for 60 days.]

Issue is still present as of 20.04, in the Installer as well as the Date & Time settings.

Some background on /why/ this is an issue, for those who who fancy a bit of reading:

Oddly enough, Kyiv is the only Ukrainian city still afflicted...
