  "notes": "The name means “new market”; a literal English translation is not the city’s English name. Input label 'Новий Торг' is Ukrainian or an indirect spelling; local_name is restored to the native-language form. Less common cross-language forms are for historical or regional text recognition, not recommendations for ordinary modern prose.",
