Lots of city names are translated.

Even in India people would probably say "Rome" instead of "Roma", "Moscow" instead of "Moskvá".

And it's not only in English, Italian would say "Tolosa" instead of "Toulouse", German would say "Mailand" instead of "Milan", French would say "Cracovie" instead of "Kraków" an so on...
