GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 556843
Remove small towns and attach airports to cities

msgid "Abū Mūsā" Ah, a small island with about 500 inhabitants, according to Wikipedia. Sure, very helpful. msgid "Ad Dalfa'ah" a very small town near to the big city of Brydah. Why not listing Brydah itself? msgid "Allison Harbour" a very small town in canada, while the big Canadian Vancouver (200km away) is not even available in the list #. Translators: this is a city in Saudi Arabia #: ../data/Locations.xml.in.h:570 msgid "Ar Ruqayyiqah" Not a city. It's a very small suburb of Al Hofuf it seems. So why not using Al Hofuf? #. Translators: this is a city in Texas in the United States #: ../data/Locations.xml.in.h:760 msgid "Austin" msgstr "Austin" #: ../data/Locations.xml.in.h:761 msgid "Austin City, Austin Camp Mabry" msgstr "Austin City, Austin Camp Mabry" Is that needed? That's just 5km away from each other. I don't care about those 0.1F difference between city center and the military camp. #. Translators: this is a city in Quebec in Canada #: ../data/Locations.xml.in.h:826 msgid "Baie-de-la-Trinité" It is "Baie-Trinité" and has according to wikipedia 589 inhabitants. This is just ridiculous. The german towns are also in fact often small villages. I had to look up lots of them though I know this country quite well IMO. In general: It's useless to list village names instead of big cities. I do NOT know the name of the third village if I drive west from the big city I live in. So do you really want me to hunt down the smallest villages in the middle of nowhere? I stopped my translation efforts here and won't continue. Updating the po file looks like a huge waste of time to me.
These strings are still present and as per https://wiki.gnome.org/Projects/LibGWeather/ImprovingLocations#Getting_Rid_of_Junk they should be removed.
(Geez, reading my comment from nine years ago makes me want to edit it and change tone. Sorry.)
