Hanover or Hannover

Is Hannover really Hanover in English? Or have anglosaxon media misspelled "Hannover Messe" by forgetting the letter n? --Rob S. Pierre (talk) 15:39, 8 March 2012 (UTC)

Anglosaxon media already misspelled "Hannover" when Kurfürst Georg Ludwig von Hannover became George I of Great Britain in 1714. In return, the German media calls him "Georg I. von Großbritannien".-----<)kmk(>--- (talk) 16:40, 28 October 2014 (UTC)

Hanover Messe → Hannover Messe – per www.hannovermesse.de/home "The success of HANNOVER MESSE 2012 confirms once again that the world's most important technology show.." and Google Books + "trade". "Messe" being German for "Fair" seems odd to be using Georgian English for spelling of the first half of the name. In ictu oculi (talk) 15:34, 3 December 2012 (UTC)

• Support, although Hanover Fair would be fine too. --78.35.235.104 (talk) 11:49, 4 December 2012 (UTC)
• Move to Hanover Fair. In ictu is correct that "Hanover Messe" is an odd blend of English and German, and that "Hannover Messe" is better in that regard. Better still, and much more common in English-language sources, is "Hanover Fair". Google Books shows 184 results for "Hanover Messe" +trade, 1,600 results for "Hannover Messe" + trade, and 3,300 for "Hannover Fair" + trade, but over 9,200 for "Hanover Fair" +trade - almost twice as many as the other three combined. Anything besides the current title would be an improvement, but "Hanover Fair" seems to be the most prevalent. Dohn joe (talk) 19:48, 4 December 2012 (UTC)

• Support - According to its website, its name is Hannover Messe. Who are we to change its name? This will not be the first time that a German name is used in English for a German institution when an English equivalent exists - think of the word "Autobahn". If English-speakers are happy to use the word "Autobahn", why not "Hannover Messe"? Martinvl (talk) 15:39, 12 December 2012 (UTC)

  Well, because sometimes we translate things, and sometimes we don't. English is fickle. What do you say to the searches I did above that show that about 85% of English-language sources use either "Hanover Fair" or "Hannover Fair", and of those, nearly three quarters use "Hanover Fair" - are those numbers not fairly compelling? Dohn joe (talk) 16:54, 12 December 2012 (UTC)

Not really. It depends what those hits relate to. They could simply be pages with hardly any content, or even redirects. Any examples? Skinsmoke (talk) 02:59, 16 December 2012 (UTC)

The search was from Google Books, so each result is from a book or other publication. I provided links to the searches - feel free to explore. Dohn joe (talk) 17:19, 22 December 2012 (UTC)

• Support Hannover Messe - it is also the longstanding intro paragraph since the article inception. Tiggerjay (talk) 04:46, 14 December 2012 (UTC)
