Can you tell us more about what you mean by "our map"? Is it a custom map, one provided by someone else, inside an app, or something else?

I checked the data in OSM, and "Timor Lest" isn't used as the name in any of the languages that have been tagged, so that name must be coming from somewhere else.

its on Mapbox. I noticed it was correct on other sources as well. I may have someone from our tech team inquire as I don't understand much about these things
