Chinese transliterated place names I am looking for a database of place names which would be non-Chinese place names listing their transliteration into Chinese. When I view Google Maps on my iPhone with the phone language set to Chinese, it provides a Chinese name for every small town and city. I anticipate this data must be avaliable somewhere potentially through a free data source or API for map developers.
I don't know a lot about GPS data and the data which feeds map labeling like this, but I did find this site for GNIS data. I've tried searching many terms including &quot;GNIS data&quot; and &quot;Chinese&quot; but I am always finding only Chinese names of Chinese places. Hoping to find something which is basically these files but in Chinese.
Does anyone have an idea where I could find this? Any help is appreciated!
the national academy for educational research, of taiwan  maintained a file “   外國地名譯名壓縮檔”, the direct link is:
https://terms.naer.edu.tw/download/380/Term_380.zip/
it’s a zip file containing several excel files, each row has the original location name in english, name in chinese, latitude &amp; longitude.
indeed, the download area have files of most disciplines, of terms in chinese &amp; foreign languages:

the only caveat is, the page is in traditional chinese only
