When you travel in Helsinki by train or a metro train, it is easy to notice that all names for places are not only in Finnish, but also in Swedish. Most of them are translations and some are adaptations to another language.
For example:
Jakomäki – Jakobacka
Puistola – Parkstad
Mellunmäki – Mellungsbacka
Helsinki – Helsingfors
Kaisaniemi – Kajsaniemi
