Hoi,
The name was Batavia at that time in any language.
The issue is that when you fudge information in this way, you can not have
proper queries. This is why Daniel is wrong and the notion that labels are
simple needs to be revisited. It is not rare at all and it exists in many
domains. This is why it is wrong, wrong, wrong.
Thanks,
GerardM
