CVS commit by harris: Partial fix of bug #94741. The main part of the bug (regarding making it possible to translate "Paris, Illinois, USA" differently from "Paris, France") is still open; this just fixes the non-sorted listing of translated Cities.

After consulting kde-i18n-doc, I have decided to wait until after 3.4 to fix this issue (because it will result in many "fuzzy" strings in the translation database). Assigned no longer contributing to kstars. UNMAINTAINED? Why? Akarsh is the active maintainer. Well, it's been almost FIVE years since the last update! At any rate, will assign it to Akarsh and he can change the status. SVN commit 1016024 by asimha: Adding country and region as translation context to city names. This fixes (the age old) bug 94741 in trunk. I hope this is okay.

Version: 1.0 (using KDE 3.3.1, Gentoo) Compiler: gcc version 3.3.4 20040623 (Gentoo Linux 3.3.4-r1, ssp-3.3.2-2, pie-8.7.6) OS: Linux (i686) release 2.6.9-gentoo-r9 Since Americans/Canadians have little imagination, they named some cities Paris (IL) or London (Ontario). The problem is, the i18n string is the same. Strange as it sounds, I would NOT translate Paris, IL as "Parigi" in Italian, because that is the French one. The one is Illinois should be kept "Paris". Same for London, Ontario. Would it be possible to separate them, maybe adding a comment ("this one is in France; this one is in Illinois, USA")? Another issue: there is no alphabetical reordering of the list according to the translations. The German "Köln" will be listed under "C" because its English translation is "Cologne". "Turku" in Swedish is "Åbo" (bilingual area...), and is supposed to be at the bottom of the list. Speaking of which, I hope it is possible to use some localised alphabetical order, since some languages have special behaviour: in Norwegian, the combination "AA" is considered equivalent to "Å" and is placed LAST in the alphabet: "Aage" comes _after_ "Zaphod"!
