There are some examples on the German-Polish border. In some cities
the Polish name has been completely changed (Frankfurt/Slubice), but
in some cases it's a recognizable transliteration. Examples
Görlitz/Zgorzelec, Küstrin/Kostrzyn, Guben/Gubin (Where "Gubin" is
also the name in Sorbian, a Slavic minority language native to the
neighbouring region of Germany. On the German side the name is
officially bilingual Sorb/Germ).
