Language Aliases

Some countries have more than one official or prominent language. For example, the same town may be commonly known by both German and Italian names. If language alias information is available in the source data, Geocode Address World uses this in the database. This enables Geocode Address World to geocode successfully when alternative language names are used in input addresses.

Aliases can exist for all administrative levels, from StateProvince state/province to Locality locality. See Administrative Divisions and Postal Codes for a description of administrative levels associated with the geographic data.

Address Aliases are also supported for commonly used, alternative administrative areas.
