AGCEEP: Navynames.csv (Please come check translations.)
Playing Spain again for old time's sake, I was reminded how terrible the navy names are; half in English, half in Spanglish. Being one of those people who likes everything named appropriately, I decided to put forth a new navynames.csv. There is one navynames mod on the forums, but the author was banned, and there hasn't been much discussion lately. (The mod thread is here, the discussion thread is here.)
After cleaning up and translating, if necessary, the names for the majors, I compiled the additional submissions and translations from these threads. (English meanings are given if I wrote them or they were given by the author.) After Courland, the names are mostly from Duke of Argyll's mod, so they are not all translated or satisfactory, but I figured I would put it up for discussion. My personal opinion is that the names should be in the native language, transliterated if necessary.
To those interested, please check over spellings, suggest new names or translations, or contest these ones. Specifically, I wasn't completely able to decipher the Norwegian names (and think there are bit too many of them), and I wasn't sure about the Danish names (and think there are too few of them). Admittedly, not all of these names are historical, and some of them I think are plainly bad, such as China's, but they do add some nice flavor. Hopefully other people are interested in coming up with new names.
Lastly, here are coastal countries missing names: Burgundy, Friesland, Oldenburg, Holstein, Stettin, Teutonic Order, Livonian Order, Novgorod, Provence, Tuscany, Modena, Athens, Order of St. John, Cyprus, Theodoros, Irish minors, Mamluks and most other African, Asian and Muslim nations. Non-coastal worth considering: Savoy, Hungary, Switzerland, Lithuania.

), but what language would they be? Italian? - most likely ports. Or German.
