Description Jakub Friedl 2007-04-12 22:27:07 UTC 
In the weather applet's location po file, there is only one translatable string for multiple locations sharing the same English name. Georgia is an example of that (U.S. state / country in Eurasia) - the problem is that Czech name for the Eurasian country is "Gruzie", but "Georgie" should be used for the US state.

I found this bug when I saw Gruzie listed as a US state - it sounds extremely funny in Czech - as if USA and former USSR merged in one superstate :)

There are more such examples (US Athens / Greek Athens and more).

Please don't use one translatable string for multiple locations.
