Hi,
I downloaded the data for Sweden and it seems that the file with Admin1 codes has a small error for administrative area with code SE.27 which should be 'Skåne Län' (instead of Scania that is an alternate name. Geonameid 3337385).
Also 'Västra Götaland' (SE.28) should be 'Västra Götalands Län' for consistency.

Are the files with administrative codes not generated from the main geonames database?


Best regards,
Simon

Hi Simon

Thanks, it will be corrected with the next dump.

The admin1Codes.txt file is generated from the alternate names table. It is using the English version of the name.

Best

Ok, it was an even smaller error then (Scania being ok i guess). Good to know.

Note that it shall be 'län' in Swedish, not 'Län'. I added the names in the Swedish language for the Swedish counties (with 'län', not 'Län').
