Anon from above but not the one you replied to, if that makes any sense?

I agree. If I'm talking to bilingual English-German speakers, I won't think twice about pronouncing words correctly or using non-English versions of names (Bayern instead of Bavaria, etc.) because I know I'll be understood. If I'm talking to non-German speakers in English or non-English speakers in German, I'll use an -ized pronunciation except in most cases of names (though I have to -ize names sometimes because they won't be recognized as words otherwise- many AmE speakers are familiar with the surname Ziegler in the -ized version, but I get blank looks if I pronounce it correctly because [ts] cannot be used as an initial sound in English).

I just can't see a person not understanding this and being genuinely multilingual. When you're multilingual, your most pressing issue is being understood by whoever you're talking to, not in pronouncing things "correctly". You get aggravated the first few times when you have to adapt your name or the name of your hometown, but then you get over it because you understand that some sounds are difficult for non-native speakers. It becomes routine to ensure that the greatest amount of people understand what you are saying.

It seems to me that this issue only comes up with people who are learning a second language for the first time and think it's an abomination to -ize pronunciations, which is probably why the general consensus is that you sound pretentious as all fuck when you do it.
