About a decade ago Google decided that all maps in Finland should have the street names in Swedish.

Which is kinda valid, in the southern and south-western parts this is done because there is a significant Swedish-speaking minority so most cities and streets have names in both languages.

But at the time I lived in central Finland, where the streets DIDN'T have official Swedish names, they just ... translated them. Which was super fun for navigating.
