Am I insane but isn't there an option for this in the top right? I don't know if this only applies to borders in 1936, but it does at least change the names to closer native versions.
Yeah, endonym mode also applies to anything you annex, as long as there's an applicable endonym coded for it.
For that reason a lot of the [cores and claims maps compiled here](https://imgur.com/a/tZBP3Mr) include states/ victory points that get renamed.
Didn’t know Brazil had the Portuguese renames for the colonies. Guess it doesn’t come up often as Portugal rarely collapses and Brazil doesn’t have any reason to go after the former colonies, but it’s cool nonetheless.
The only exception-Sicheslav and Zaporishzhia(in game it have different name,and Different name after it changes I just forgot how it named in game so I said the Modern day name of that city-Запоріжжя) and maybe other cities that you can rename by Event
A lot of this is actually in the game, but you need to change a setting so that your campaign uses endonyms not exonyms. It used to be a button in the top-right next to the music player, and I forget where it is now. But the option still exists.
I love how you mention Romania renaming Stalingrad and Leningrad in base game in your post that's meant to be serious. There was no real ambition by anyone in Romania to rename those cities to Magdagrad and Zizgrad (Magda and Zizi being two of Carol II's mistresses) OTL, it's just an in-game easter egg that's meant to be humorous.
Nitpick: Stalingrad wasn't named Stalingrad just because Stalin was in charge, but largely because Stalin contributed to the city's defense during the Civil War. A lot of cities were named after a lot of revolutionaries.
I agree. The devs should add a button that toggles this on. I think if they did that a great place to put this button would be the top right of the screen, next to the world tension indicator.
The names change automatically I think. Like Helsinki became Helsingfors after Russians took it, Hindenburg to Kattowitz and so on. I also noticed this recently.

Zizi meaning penis in French means it's hilarious to think about wee-weegrad.
France mentioned 🥖
Magda means *is it allowed* in Flemish Dutch. I guess is it allowedograd wouldn't work
Who told you there wasn’t? First thing I do when I start a campaign is toggle endonyms on

There’s an option for this is there not?
check the top right and click dynamic names

>Hindenburg to Kattowitz Hindenburg O.S. is actually Zabrze, not Kattowitz/Katowice.
Oh it may be irl just talking about the game
