Hi, Alejandro, there is an MP from Alexis de Lattre to the repository partner-contact-management that does just what you want: import all toponyms from any contry, taking Geonames as the source:
https://code.launchpad.net/~akretion-team/partner-contact-management/base-location-geonames-import/+merge/214564 I haven't have time to review it, but it seems to be the way to go. If it's as I expect, I want to adopt it for spanish localization adding two things: - A hook for taking alternative name for states, because for legal purposes (VAT declarations and so on), we need a different state code than the one published on GeoNames. - A mechanism to have off-line data, as a backup, in case GeoNames doesn't respond.
