If google info is anything to go by, geoname-lookup also shows names that are not expected along with right results. I tried http://geoname-lookup.ubuntu.com/?query=New York. Result was : [{"name" : "New York", "admin1" : "New York", "country" : "United States", "longitude" : "-74.005970", "latitude" : "40.714270" }, {"name" : "New York", "admin1" : "New York", "country" : "United States", "longitude" : "-74.005970", "latitude" : "40.714270" }, {"name" : "New York", "admin1" : "New York", "country" : "United States", "longitude" : "-74.005970", "latitude" : "40.714270" }, {"name" : "New York", "admin1" : "New York", "country" : "United States", "longitude" : "-74.005970", "latitude" : "40.714270" }, {"name" : "New York", "admin1" : "New York", "country" : "United States", "longitude" : "-74.005970", "latitude" : "40.714270" }, {"name" : "New York", "admin1" : "New York", "country" : "United States", "longitude" : "-74.005970", "latitude" : "40.714270" }, {"name" : "New York", "admin1" : "New York", "country" : "United States", "longitude" : "-74.005970", "latitude" : "40.714270" }, {"name" : "New York", "admin1" : "New York", "country" : "United States", "longitude" : "-74.005970", "latitude" : "40.714270" }, {"name" : "New York", "admin1" : "New York", "country" : "United States", "longitude" : "-74.005970", "latitude" : "40.714270" }, {"name" : "New York borg", "admin1" : "New York", "country" : "United States", "longitude" : "-74.005970", "latitude" : "40.714270" }, {"name" : "New York", "admin1" : "New York", "country" : "United States", "longitude" : "-74.005970", "latitude" : "40.714270" }, {"name" : "New York", "admin1" : "New York", "country" : "United States", "longitude" : "-74.005970", "latitude" : "40.714270" }, {"name" : "New York", "admin1" : "New York", "country" : "United States", "longitude" : "-74.005970", "latitude" : "40.714270" }, {"name" : "New York", "admin1" : "New York", "country" : "United States", "longitude" : "-74.005970", "latitude" : "40.714270" }, {"name" : "New York", "admin1" : "New York", "country" : "United States", "longitude" : "-74.005970", "latitude" : "40.714270" }, {"name" : "New York", "admin1" : "New York", "country" : "United States", "longitude" : "-74.005970", "latitude" : "40.714270" }, {"name" : "New York", "admin1" : "New York", "country" : "United States", "longitude" : "-74.005970", "latitude" : "40.714270" }, {"name" : "New York", "admin1" : "New York", "country" : "United States", "longitude" : "-74.005970", "latitude" : "40.714270" }, {"name" : "Lungsod ng New York", "admin1" : "New York", "country" : "United States", "longitude" : "-74.005970", "latitude" : "40.714270" }, {"name" : "New York kenti", "admin1" : "New York", "country" : "United States", "longitude" : "-74.005970", "latitude" : "40.714270" }] According to wiki, New York borg stands for New York City(NYC) in Icelandic; Lungsod ng New York stands for NYC in Filipino and New York kenti is NYC in Turkish. Search for http://geoname-lookup.ubuntu.com/?query=New York City gives: [{"name" : "New York City", "admin1" : "New York", "country" : "United States", "longitude" : "-74.005970", "latitude" : "40.714270" }, {"name" : "The City of New York", "admin1" : "New York", "country" : "United States", "longitude" : "-74.005970", "latitude" : "40.714270" }]. What I intend to say is: 1. There's no necessity to include city names in languages other than English when one's chosen language is English. 2. If at all it should be included, then it should be included in a relevant list.
Hope that helps. As with * check if ubiquity is doing the correct requests / caching of the geodata / timezones, I don't know how to go about it. If you can let me have more info, I'd be glad to do the checks. But a simple mouse click test says that not all is well with the geonames. Going to raise a bug for that and will post the link here. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1043843 Title: When a location name is typed in the text box on 'Where are you page', drop down list doesn't always show right location names To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-geonames/+bug/1043843/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
