English translation:см.
Explanation:
Как часть имени собственного -- не должно переводиться, но в некоторых случаях (исторически) такое бывает.

Особенности геогр. названий видны и в русском словоупотреблении: мы говорим \"Приднепровье\", \"Приднестровье\", но -- \"Поволжье\" или \"Подмосковье\". Все зависит от того, \"при\" чем. :)

agree  JoeYeckley (X): Think of it this way, what is on the approaches to the Dniestr from one geograpic perspective is across the Dniestr from another.
