Google also decided at one point that all street names in a Finnish city should be in Swedish.

Yes, Finland is a bilingual country and some southern cities have official names in Swedish, but this town was a full 300km from the southern border and zero of the street names had official Swedish alternatives. Google just decided to autotranslate all the street names with no fallback.

People complained, Google didn't care. At one point after a few weeks it just magically reverted back.
