Hi,

We're using GeoNames for a product in Colombia. But when we try to retrieve the first level administrative divisions (in our case Departments) we can see that their names have no format at all.

Some of them are called by just their proper name
"Atlántico, Antioquia, etc"

But otherones are called with the "Departamento de" word in front of their proper name like "Departamento de Arauca".

Is there any way to obtain all the subdivisions' name properly formatted?

Hi,

The same problem occurs for France with departments.

In the file we find "DĂ©partement de la Dordogne".
But the right naming is just "Dordogne".

For USA it is "California" not "State of California".

IMHO there are no reasons to act differently for other countries.

Regards
