was it always spelled "chornobyl" ?

[PhamTrinli]

I thought it was originally "Chernobyl"

maybe I just didn't notice before?

[potato]

they renamed it

[huma474]

The spelling was updated to the Ukrainian spelling after the genocidal orks invaded

[Zalozee]

In compliance with international rules (UNCSGN & UNGEGN), the transliteration of names of settlements is made only from the country state language, where the object is located.

Why do most people write Chernobyl - using «e»?
It's very simple. The birth of the Chornobyl nuclear power plant, as well as the accident happened on the 4th power unit during the Soviet era, when Ukraine had a second state language - Russian, imposed on Ukrainians when Bolsheviks came to power.

Ukraine attained its independence 5 years after the Chornobyl accident - in 1991 Ukrainian language became the only official in the country.

However, most of the international community continues to use rudimentary writing that is incorrect, misleading, as for now. And from the moment Chernobyl became Chornobyl has already passed 32 years...

Honestly, yes. But we got used to spell it ChErnobyl, specially in the west.
A dude in another post uploaded a photo of the area in Ukraine and it was always called Chornobyl.

Serious question:

Why are you here? Everytime you post something it's either negative, passive aggressive or indirectly pro russian invaders.

Ukrainian developers want to use their own language instead of Russian? Damn how dare they?
It's their game, their IP and their right. If You do not like it then maybe leave the community instead of spreading negativity?

I don't understand you people, the game starts out as Heart of "Chernobyl" then the war brokes out and the name gets changed, it's clearly related to the war, why are you losing your marbles over this fact?
