Ok, that’s absurd. I thought it makes sense to change the name in the US if that’s the official name in the US (according to the USGS data, which has always been the official source for this info). But translating the US name into other languages that already have a name for it makes no sense.

They did change that line from “do no evil” to “do any profitable amount of evil”, so this is fair play.
