Hah, I totally read it that way, too.

Sorry.=A0 What I meant was that, taking cities as an example,
you would lojbanize the names of those cities as pronounced
by their inhabitants (i.e. the local language).=A0 That's fairer and more 'neutral' than using their English names even though more
people around the world may recognize the English name.
So the lojban name for India's largest city should be based on
Mumbai even though more people around the world would
still recognize Bombay.
