English term or phrase: Rangoon
What is the correct translation of Rangoon (now incorrectly called Yangon) the capital of Burma (now incorrectly called Myanmar)?
I have seen it translated as Rangum, but also as Rangun (on the RTP website for example) and Rangon.

European and Brazilian Portuguese if possible.
Thank you!
