We seem to be confusing two things here.
If I travelled to Madrid for the weekend, and needed to set the time
zone manually, it would be fairly obvious that "Madrid, España" is
Madrid in Spain. But the same is not true for other locations: if I went
to Vladivostok, I would find it extremely difficult to find
"Владивосток" amongst "Владимир" and "Выборг" and "Выселки" and all the
other Cyrillic place names, because I can't read Cyrillic! So, as
Wenfang acknowledges, it is not a bug that when you have chosen to use
English, we display place names in English. (This is different from when
you are choosing display language in the first-run setup, or changing
display language in System Settings, when we don't assume that you can
read any language other than the one you're choosing.)
Conversely, it's not reasonable to expect a Russian reader who doesn't
know English to find placenames written in English. Alberto is reporting
that problem: with display language set to Spanish he still has
placenames in English. That is a bug. It might be missing translations,
or it might be something else. It's up to you whether you use this bug
report to track that problem, or report it separately.
