In the german books it is Entenhausen (duckhouse).

Hier wäre Mannheim komisch...

In Danish it’s called Andeby which translates to: Ducktown.

No Danish town called Mandeby, though 🤷

Shouldn't it be menneskeby?

We do have a Manderup, and even a Kvinder up.

[–] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Do we have ones called Manderip and Manderap, though?

[–] cute_astronaut@feddit.dk 4 points 5 months ago

That's a missed opportunity, we should have

In Italian it's Paperopoli (Duckopolis)

in french it’s either donaldville or canardville (duckville) depending on the media and translation

but while finding this, I learned that french wikipedia has a page for the town (english wikipedia doesn’t) and it has a whole infobox as if it were a real town lmao

Screenshot of the french Wikipedia infobox for Donaldville, showing information such as location (Calisota, United States), demonym (Donaldvillois), population (1'300'000), coordinates, date of founding (1579) and date of receiving municipality status (1848), and position on the map.

The whole town is named after Donald, but he's just some loser schlub....

[–] samus12345@sh.itjust.works 2 points 5 months ago

It's gotta be a lot older than him, too. Maybe it was some other Donald.

For Spanish its either Patoburgo (Duckburg) or Patópolis (Duckopolis) in Spain, Patolandia (Duckland) in the Americas

Hausen is a no longer used word for nameing settlements. It can describe a multiple house village or a hamlet. Houses is plural. The plural of Haus is Häuser.

Used as a verb "hausen" is a derogatory term for living in a chaotic dirty and unclean way.
