we could not introduce this package to the community as the text is unacceptable. Using Marble 1.0.0 in KDE 4.6.0 compiled from sources and in Kubuntu 10.10 the capital of Sri Lanka is correctly named Colombo. Entering "Kolamba" in the search field of the navigation bar gives no hit, there is no city named "Kolamba" in marble/data. Seems you use Fedora 14, it must be a distribution fault then. i am using Fedora 14 is it possible to get a list of city names belongs to Sri Lanka? i selected Colombo as an example. We updated the list of cities for KDE 4.6 (Marble 1.0). I compared both: Kolamba in KDE 4.5 (Marble 0.10) has been renamed Colombo in KDE 4.6. what you meant? Can you confirm that all locations in my country will appear with correct spellings? I was not talking only about Colombo but all the city names I checked more than ten of them, they were all correct in the KDE 4.6 version according to Wikipedia. The data is imported automatically, so I assume that whichever error caused the wrong spelling (or rather the use of an uncommon alternative name) has been resolved. Dennis, Highly appreciate if you could send me a screenshot of the Sri Lanka Map in Marble ( KDE 4.6 ). Thanks Dennis! found in correct one "Galkissa " it should correct as "Mount Lavinia" http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mount_lavinia Can you ask the people at http://www.geonames.org/ to change that? We import their data and they call it Galkissa (seems to be the local name). in Sinhala Galkissa is fine but in English its not correct :) sure! will do On Sat, Feb 19, 2011 at 12:14 PM, Dennis Nienhüser <earthwings@gentoo.org>wrote: > https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=266624 > > > > > > --- Comment #10 from Dennis Nienhüser <earthwings gentoo org> 2011-02-19 > 18:14:55 --- > Can you ask the people at http://www.geonames.org/ to change that?

I know too little about the local facts to judge what is correct. ok thanks :) |
