  Anglicisation - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
For example, people may be Anglicised: an immigrant to England may be said to become Anglicised as he or she acclimates to the culture.
Another common type of Anglicisation is the inclusion of a foreign article as part of a noun (such as algebra, lavolta).
In other cases, firmly entrenched Anglicised names have remained in common use, especially where there is no polarizing national pride at stake: This is the case with Munich, Naples, Rome, Athens, and a host of other western European cities whose names have been familiar in their Anglicised forms for centuries.

 Orkneyjar - The Origin of Orkney Placenames
However, the early cartographers assumed that because the sound of the Orcadian -waa element was the same as the Scottish pronunciation of "wall" it had to mean the same.
They promptly anglicised it and in one stroke "Kirkwaa" became "Kirkwall".
Unfortunately this distortion of placenames did not end with the early mapmakers but it is a process goes on today.

 Machine Assisted Translation - Anglicisations
Where measurements are translated there is the added question of which system is used in which country.
When Bibles are anglicised to form an international edition they are therefore often converted to metric measurements, even though those measurements maybe unfamiliar in the UK market.
Where metric measurements are used in the USA they are spelt with the -er ending instead of the -re ending for litre (ilter) and metre (meter), and with the -am ending instead of the -amme ending on the word gramme (gram).

The Irish hated this, but were so hungry that many families were forced to be in the soup.

 How to speak Austrian in English   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
The intention of the Österreich Lexikon - and thus also of the Encyclopedia of Austria - is to present Austria from the Austrian perspective, how Austrians see their country, its institutions, its history.
