Description Arangel Angov 2004-10-24 20:27:03 UTC 
Translation bug:

"FYR Macedonia" should be "Macedonia" or "Republic of Macedonia" - this is the
constitutional name of the country. All open source (most of GNOME,
RedHat/Fedora, Mandrake, SuSE, KDE and from recently even Debian) projects
recognize the country as Macedonia.

Will appreciate if you change this in the next release.
Thanks in advance.

This is a trivial fix. You can submit a patch against the file Locations.xml.in
(not Locations.xml, if you can't find the file look in
http://cvs.gnome.org/viewcvs/gnome-applets/gweather/).

I'm not even sure what FYR stands for, but I think it would be easiest to change
it to Macedonia. This won't appear in GNOME 2.8.2 as it would break the string
freeze, but it will appear in GNOME 2.10.

Thanks.

Davyd, FYR stands for "Former Yugoslav Republic of".  I belive it's the full
name of the country according to UN (because probably Greece has a problem with
it being simply "Macedonia").  But here, we don't use all the full names of a
country anyway (i.e. "United States" instead of "United States of America",
"United Kingdom" instead of "United Kindom of Great Britain and Northern
Ireland", etc.), there's no reason not to use simply "Macedonia" here.

Ok, this is already RESOLVED, but just thought I'd add an explanation provided
someone wants to dispute this later on, and comes to Bugzilla :)

Danilo, cool thanks for this explanation.
