Here is the solution I strongly believe Google and Apple should follow:
- United States: “Lake America (Lake Ontario)” and “Gulf of America (Gulf of Mexico)”
- Everywhere else in the world: “Lake Ontario” and “Gulf of Mexico”
There is no reason to show these new Trump-dictated names anywhere outside the U.S., even putting them in parentheses. There is no reason to show only the actual traditional names exclusively for users in Canada (for Lake Ontario) and Mexico (for the Gulf). Treating Canada and Mexico as special cases only makes sense if they’re part of some sort of dispute over the names. They’re not. The names of these two bodies of water are not contentious.

Je trouve cette approche plus cohérente, et c’est d’ailleurs ce qui a été choisi par OpenStreetMap, comme le partage Nicolas dans Comment on renomme un lac.
