English, Slovene, Russian & Isreali in Latin & Hebrew
Ciril Detecnik is from Slovenia & he gave me the names in Slovene. An interesting question was asked therefore this is a paste/copy of the answer. If you mean Austria-Hungary as one country in years around 1900, then translation is AVSTROOGRSKA. If you mean Avstrija-Hungary as two countries, as they are now, the translation is Avstrija-Madžarska.
To those unaware of why I found it an interesting answer with the point being that in English, the langauge doesn't really have different word or words, based on countries, etc. When I found the flag, shown below, it's used outside Slovenia & called the State flag. The reason being, is that the National flag, used inside Slovenia, has the same colours as the Russian flag & therefore the State flag show the difference of the two countries.
With regard to the Russian column, Saburov Viktor Aleksandrovich forwarded me those that are used in the site, diplomail.ru.
Tal Lessner gave me two translations. One is the Latin names used in Israel with the other being Hebrew. You'll see no abbreviations due to him not ever seeing them. As for Hebrew he equally gave me big hints about the language. I've paste/copy what he said & have put them below the table instead of here.
You'll see ? being used in the abbreviations. The reason was that the maps I saw used the English abbreviations but listed the words shown. It maybe that is how it's done but I haven't yet got confirmation from other players.

These are what Tal mentioned to me:
First of all, keep in mind that Hebrew is spelled Right to Left and not Left to Right…
In Hebrew, the vowels are marked by small symbols over or under the words if needed (though nobody uses them actually) there are letters for I/O/U which are sometimes used, and another 2 letters for A/E which may be used only at the end of a word..
Now for the Letters, if I write 2 letters on some places, it’s because Hebrew got “final letters” and this means those letters are written differently when they come at the end of a word… (So ך, ם, ן, ף, ץ may appear only at the end of the word and are the same as the letter next to them).
| English Equivilant | Hebrew Letter |
| (Hard to explain this letter) It’s not a vowel, but it sounds like you will say A/E/I/O/U with no constant before it… | א |
| B/V | ב |
| G, if it has an apostrophe after it, it’s J | ג |
| D | ד |
| H, or as A/E if it’s at the END of the word | ה |
| V/W as constant, O/U as a vowel | ו |
| Z | ז |
| That’s a hard one, maybe a bit like G in Dutch… | ח |
| T | ט |
| Y, or I if used as a vowel | י |
| K or, like the Scottish ch in words like Loch | כ, ך |
| L | ל |
| M | מ, ם |
| N | נ, ן |
| S | ס |
| a bit like א (the 1st letter) But not quite.. there is no equivilant to it in any language known to civilised people | ע |
| P/F | פ, ף |
| TZ (the sound you get when saying it, like in Frentzen), with an apostrophe after it, it’s like CH | צ, ץ |
| K | ק |
| R | ר |
| S/SH | ש |
| T/TH | ת |
Those are the letters (Now try reading!)
Some more useful information: ה at the beginning of a word (Ha) is the same as “The”
Common words there: ים (Yam) = Sea אוקיינוס (Okyanus) = Ocean מיפרץ (Mifratz) = Gulf תעלה (Teala( = Channel צפון (Tzafon) = North (Tzfoni = Northern, Add I / י to the following directions will do the same) דרום (Darom) = South מזרח (Mizrakh) = East מערב (Ma’arav) = West מרכז (Merkaz) = Centre
