And who are you to dictate what the naming conventions on the English
Wikipedia should be?
When words from other languages are used in any language that language tends
to modify those words so that they are pronounceable and usable by people who
speak that language. In English this is called Anglicisation and in Polish it
is called Polonisation (which has already been pointed out to you).
All languages pick up and modify words from other languages. When these
languages do this the words are no longer foreign, but they are now part of a
new language. Words are merely used to name things and different languages
have different words for things.
