Name of University and translation

[edit]

Hi Karl1720,

I think it is accurate to say that the official Ukrainian name for the university is: "Харківський національний університет імені В. Н. Каразіна." That is, this is official in the native language.

The city Харків is modernly translated into English as "Kharkiv."

The translation of the official Ukrainian name would have to be: "V. N. Karazin Kharkiv National University." The idea is that there is a native name and this has to be translated to be rendered in English.

This is a minor detail but people get upset when their names are misspelled. Svyatver (talk) 19:39, 5 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
