[World of Warcraft] Why is Alterac Swiss cheese called 'swiss'? What does swiss mean?
gpt
The short answer is that it isn't actually called Alterac Swiss cheese. The Alliance races don't speak English they speak Common. When the Common name for Alterac cheese was translated into English the word Swiss was used as the name since the process used is similar enough to actual Swiss cheese that the look and taste are a reasonably close match.

It is therefore given the English name Alterac Swiss cheese to differentiate it from actual Swiss cheese which is a Protected Designation of Origin.
