<location>
      <_name>Aarhus</_name>
      <code>EKAH</code>
      <coordinates>56-18N 010-37E</coordinates>
    </location>

This location should probably be spelled "Århus" instead. I'm not sure that it
would be commonly known as "Aarhus" by a person whose first name is English.


    <location>
      <_name>Koebenhavn/Kastrup</_name>
      <code>EKCH</code>
      <coordinates>55-37N 012-39E</coordinates>
    </location>

This should probably rather be:

    <city>
      <!-- Translators: The native name is "København". -->
      <_name>Copenhagen</_name>
      <location>
        <_name>Kastrup</_name>
        <code>EKCH</code>
        <coordinates>55-37N 012-39E</coordinates>
      </location>
    </city>

I'm not sure a person whose first name is English would recognize this city
other than by the name of "Copenhagen". Thus, this is probably the name that
should be listed.


    <location>
      <_name>Koebenhavn/Roskilde</_name>
      <code>EKRK</code>
      <coordinates>55-35N 012-08E</coordinates>
    </location>

I'm not sure Roskilde can be classified as a part of Copenhagen... at least it
seems odd to me.


    <location>
      <_name>Soenderborg</_name>
      <code>EKSB</code>
      <coordinates>54-58N 009-47E</coordinates>
    </location>

This should probably say "Sønderborg" instead.


    <location>
      <_name>Sydfyns Flyveplads</_name>
      <code>EKST</code>
      <coordinates>55-01N 010-34E</coordinates>
    </location>

This should perhaps say "Sydfyn Airport" instead, or at the very least have a
translator comment that explained what "Flyveplads" is, and that the "s" in
"Sydfyns" is just a genitive one.


   <location>
      <_name>Vaerloese</_name>
      <code>EKVL</code>
      <coordinates>55-46N 012-20E</coordinates>
    </location>

This should probably say "Værløse" instead.


    <location>
      <_name>Vagar/Soervaag</_name>
      <code>EKVG</code>
      <coordinates>62-04N 007-17W</coordinates>
    </location>

This should probably say "Vagar/Sørvåg" instead.

"...whose first language is English". D'oh.
Comment 2 Ole Laursen 2005-02-01 14:07:54 UTC
Yep, this is all totally true. Should we go ahead and fix it now before the
string freeze starts?
Comment 3 Danielle Madeley 2005-02-01 17:50:57 UTC
I have faith in the translators to do the right thing. Feel free to commit fixes.
Comment 4 Ole Laursen 2005-02-02 16:32:02 UTC
I've fixed the strings now.
Comment 5 Danielle Madeley 2005-02-02 18:17:14 UTC
So has this bug been resolved?
Comment 6 Ole Laursen 2005-02-03 14:16:34 UTC
Yep, I added a new country since one of the locations is on the Faroes (that
belong to the Danish kingdom, but really aren't in Denmark).
