Never said we shouldn’t be translating the names of countries, only that there is a reason to think we shouldn’t. Because the comment I was replying to said “There’s no reason to expect them to be the same in different languages.”

Never said it was correct to not translate country names. Only that there is a reason to think they wouldn’t be.
Finally we can get into Eurovision!
Your name is your name. Things like Jack versus Jacques or Matthew versus Mateo exist, but those aren’t your name.
Thanks, fixed
But they specifically said “There’s no reason to expect them to be the same in different languages.” Which there absolutely IS a reason to expect that.

You should teach your children to do the things you want them to do. That’s not a contradiction. If I wanted my child to leave the seat down I’d teach them that. If I wanted my child to leave the seat up I’d teach them that. If I wanted my child to do what I suggested earlier in the thread I’d teach them that.
Teach the child to leave it down if you want it left down.
Don’t forget that they used to add referral parameters to links you clicked so they got a kickback from you clicking things from anywhere even if they didn’t make that link for you.
