Brussels, capital of Belgium, is a 90% French speaking city. Marble reports Brussel as its name, which is the Flemish name. Please use Bruxelles in French, or Brussels, in English (there are more English speakers than Flemish speakers in Brussels).

Is this still an issue?

Comment 2 Cypher 2010-01-21 07:42:22 UTC

Of course it is ! This must be changed.

Should be not too hard to fix...

Is this a translation issue? In what language does marble display citynames by default? KDE SC language or depending on the country the city is in? Moscow is shown to me as moskva, but chinese cities are not displayed in chinese... Is there a general guideline for this?

Comment 6 Bastian Senst 2010-10-14 14:31:07 UTC

At the Moment we just use the data from Geonames.org. Perhaps they have a guideline, but I don't know for sure. I think at the Moment we save both local name and english name.
Just look at the file http://websvn.kde.org/trunk/KDE/kdeedu/marble/data/placemarks/HOWTO-cities.txt?view=markup and at the other files in this directory.

Can you provide some additional information ? Is it about changing the content of the file cities.txt?
