### Dataset Summary
This dataset contains the German and corresponding Czech names for almost 5k places in Czech Republic. 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 Czech names (or maybe the other way around), some are phonetic modifications while some are unrelated.
