[Bug 853762] Re: Name of my native city is given in Russian transliteration

[Eugene Trotsan]

Issue is still present as of 20.04, in the Installer as well as the Date
& Time settings.

Some background on /why/ this is an issue, for those who who fancy a bit
of reading:

Oddly enough, Kyiv is the only Ukrainian city still afflicted...

Archaic Soviet-era spelling|Correct modern spelling
‘the Ukraine’|Ukraine
Kiev|Kyiv
Lvov|Lviv
Odessa|Odesa
Kharkov|Kharkiv
Nikolaev|Mykolaiv
Rovno|Rivne
Ternopol|Ternopil

Title:
  Name of my native city is given in Russian transliteration

Status in tzdata package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  During Ubuntu installation I can't choose Kyiv as location - only Kiev
  proposed. But it is not Ukrainian transliteration - this is Russian
  pronounce. Also "Kyiv" not in write checking dictionary - writing this
  message I see it marked as error.

  An example of proper name: http://www.kyivpost.ua/

  Hope to see Kyiv in next release

  Also when I'm choosing city location on the map  - Ubuntu identifies
  this location as Kiev.
