Cityname misspelled (JekaterinbErg)

JekaterinbErg is JekaterinbUrg in GE, but in reality it should be Ekaterinburg I lived there so it hurts me to see it spelled wrong...

This is Googles problem, not ours - we are only talking about cities we have added to the game, you can get in touch with the developers of Google Earth at The Official Google Earth Community

Quote:
Yekaterinburg (Russian: Екатеринбу́рг, also transliterated Ekaterinburg or Jekaterinburg)
According to Wikipedia.

Another source has;

Quote:
Jekaterinburg (Sverdlovsk) [Yekaterinburg]
and yet another also includes;

Quote:
Jekaterinburg
Sverdlovsk
Yekaterinburg
Is this like a local language issue - like Saint Petersburg being Sankt Peterburg in GE. I have changed the E to a U, but am not sure about Ekaterinburg, as it doesn't seem all that widespread in use. Google still calls Burma Burma instead of Myanmar - so so do I. Cambodia is also not called Kampuchea. And google calls Lhasa a Chinese city. I don't know the local histories well enough to overrule google, so what they say goes. I have changed the e to a u, sorry for the typo.

not a misspelling, but...

Kinshasa, Democratic Republic of Congo
Lubumbashi, Democratic Republic of the Congo (and 3 more cities)

This is the longest country name. Suggestion: D.R. Congo?

Only if it's a commonly known acronym, like USA or UK.....

I'll check on this, for now I have changed Kinshasa (Beezer's fault that one...)
