For Germany we have the following administrative divisions :

ADM1 : 16 (Bundesland)
ADM2 : 22 (Regierungsbezirk)
ADM3 : 439 (Landkreis or Stadtkreis)
ADM4 : ca 12000 (Gemeinde)

I have started french translation :

Bundesland => Etat
Regierungsbezirk => District
Landkreis => Arrondissement
Stadtkreis => Ville-arrondissement
Gemeinde => Municipalité

Any comments ?

Sorry if I have chosen a wrong topic for my question. I have exported GeoNames database for Germany. All administrative divisions are OK but there is no information about cities in ADM4. All PPL objects have blanks in their ADM2, ADM3, ADM4 fields so there is no way to determine in which ADM PPL object is located. I want to know if this information will be added in the future and what is the proirity of this task? Thank you in advance for answers.

ADM1 Codes for Germany:

According to http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_3166-2: DE
(remove the last space in the URL between the ":" and the DE)

This maps the German State Names to the correct ISO_3166-2 Codes and the old ADM1-Codes for Germany in admin1Codes.txt from your database.

Baden-Württemberg DE.BW DE.01
Bayern DE.BY DE.02
Berlin DE.BE DE.16
Brandenburg DE.BB DE.11
Bremen DE.HB DE.03
Hamburg DE.HH DE.04
Hessen DE.HE DE.05
Mecklenburg-Vorpommern DE.MV DE.12
Niedersachsen DE.NI DE.06
Nordrhein-Westfalen DE.NW DE.07
Rheinland-Pfalz DE.RP DE.08
Saarland DE.SL DE.09
Sachsen DE.SN DE.13
Sachsen-Anhalt DE.ST DE.14
Schleswig-Holstein DE.SH DE.10
Thüringen DE.TH DE.15

All you need to do is to replace the third column with the second.



Thanks Guys![/url][url]
