Geography / place name transliteration
Chinese term or phrase: 南京东路
I am editing a document with 南京 translated as Nanking.

The document is a Taiwanese legal document.

Based on web search I have found both Nanjing Road and Nanking Road in use...

What one is most accepted in Taiwan? Nanjing or Nanking?
