### Dataset Summary

This dataset contains the German and Polish names for almost 5k places in Poland. It has been generated using [this code](https://github.com/DebasishDhal/Minor-Stuff/blob/main/paired-placenames-scrapping/german-czech.py).
Many of these names are related to each other. Some German names are literal translation of the Polish names, some are phonetic modifications while some are unrelated.
