[Idea] Dynamic wonder names!

[onedreamer]

Gosh, this is getting repeatitive.
If Netherlands completed Stonehenge or Pentagon the message would be "Netherlands completed Stonehenge/Pentagon" if you play in ENGLISH language. There is ALREADY a language feature in the game, or do you read "$%"%&£$%&!" (sorry that's more or less what it looks like to me ) when you build a barracks as China ?
So the aim is to generalize the name of wonders when they are language specific or location specific, like for example "Notre Dame" and "University of Sankore".

Notre Dame in London could be renamed Westminster Abbey, also a pretty famous church.
In Netherlands it could be called Dom Tower, etc.

In China it could be called Beijing Street Church. If you look it up, every country have at least one church. Pick the most famous one.

Hollywood in the Netherlands could be called Hilversum. That's the city with all the television industry. I think a lot of country must have film/television industry centred in a city, which could be the name.

Just a few examples.

So, in real history each country has used WorldBuilder to be allowed their own grand-scale buildings? That's just plain stupid. Why not make all wonders national wonders while at it? National Cathedral could replace Notre Dame. Oh wait, let's name it "National Place of Worship" so no-one gets offended. Yeah, that'll work, never mind how stupid it would sound.

What about the ancient wonders? And the civilizations that have no replacive wonders? Will they build the generic wonder or be barred one? Who gets to pick which building is suited for which wonder?

If you don't like a concept/idea, you can just not participate in its discussion. I am pretty certain I'm not stupid and I am pretty certain that "Notre Dame" built by a Chinese Civ in Beijing is not less stupid than "National Place of Worship" built by any civ anywhere, without taking note that Notre Dame is NOT a national place of worship. My suggestion is take all the stupidity you see in this idea and keep it for yourself, that way you won't appear stupid claiming that chinese Notre Dame is intelligent.

I think SOME wonders could me more often in their ORIGINAL civ.

I NEVER EVER see the Pyramids actually in Egypt or the Hanging Gardens in Babylon.

Pyramids in Rome are just ugly.

Just to add something non-argumentative, this would be easy to do, just tedious. All that would be necessary would be to add all the wonders as UBs for all the civs. Now we just need to agree on names...
