Let’s call this a break request and here is approval 1/2.

I’m not sure I see the logic behind that. What makes you think
translations are not needed? A speaker of a given language surely has
a better chance of knowing a place by their localised names, don’t
they? Also, locations are using a separate domain, so it’s easy to
just translate `po` and leave `locations` out.
