Lipsia isn't English either

No, it's how we call Leipzig.

It's weird because we still use Italianized names for most European cities (Londra instead of London, Barcellona instead of Barcelona, Dublino instead of Dublin, Monaco instead of Munich which makes it easy to mix it up with Monaco as in the Principality of Monaco) BUT you'll never see New York translated to "Nuova York" (unless you're speaking with a centenerian) or Los Angeles to "Gli Angeli".
