<![CDATA[Latest posts for the topic "Names in Ukranian vs Russian (eg: Odesa vs Odessa, etc) for locations in Ukraine"]]> http://forum.geonames.org/gforum/posts/list/8.page JForum - http://www.jforum.net Names in Ukranian vs Russian (eg: Odesa vs Odessa, etc) for locations in Ukraine Wikipedia and several international media organizations have been moving away from the historical spelling to the Ukrainian one. I mention Odesa specifically because it was the one brought to us by one of our users, but the issue is likely happening with others too. I see that Kyiv has already been updated (from Kiev), but there's probably others still using the historical spelling. Not sure if there's a way to do a batch update so that this is not done piecemeal. I'm not Ukrainian, so I'm not much of help there I'm afraid. Anyhow, if possible, can the preferred name for Odesa be updated?]]> http://forum.geonames.org/gforum/posts/list/39441.page#52249 http://forum.geonames.org/gforum/posts/list/39441.page#52249 GMT Re:Names in Ukranian vs Russian (eg: Odesa vs Odessa, etc) for locations in Ukraine http://forum.geonames.org/gforum/posts/list/39441.page#52394 http://forum.geonames.org/gforum/posts/list/39441.page#52394 GMT Re:Names in Ukranian vs Russian (eg: Odesa vs Odessa, etc) for locations in Ukraine Kyiv Oblast has 2 English variants (both Ukranian and Russian). On some services that relies on GeoNames database "Kyiv Oblast" continues to use short russian variant. Code:
