Plaatsnamen (Places)

Hi everyone!

A friend of mine lives in Kaatsheuvel, the name of the place shows up correctly in her Etsy store when she's using the English version of Etsy... But.... when people try to translate her shop to Dutch, for some reason the name turns into 'Ketsheuvel'.

It happens continuously?
Maybe not a lot with Dutch names, but Eastern European names get changed a lot... (for instance, Moscow..)
