Translations of city names

[Philippe Verdy]

At least in the European Union, portability of numbers is open to every
customers. And almost everywhere local call rates are disappearing for all
operators, going to a situation with a single national rate.
What replaces the local call rates is different rates depending on source
and target operators or the kind of service (fixed line or mobile) rather
than the actual location of callers and callees.
