    There are some text variables I've never seen used, and I'm therefore in doubt about their correct translation. I hope somebody can help me out:

    $pgv_lang["changed_places"]

    and

    $pgv_lang["place_cleanup_detected"]

      $pgv_lang["place_cleanup_detected"] is used in the file validategedcom.php, which cleans up invalid gedcom tags on import of a gedcom in PGV.

      $pgv_lang["changed_places"] doesn't seem to be used anywhere so after some more checking I will remove it from the english language file later. This will appear in the LANG.CHANGELOG.TXT file as a change.

      Regards,

      But what sort of error would cause the message to be shown? I mean, if it is a tag that is incorrect, surely phpgedview won't even interpret it. So what is it about place names that can be incorrect? I just want to be sure I present the correct explanation to the user.

        Hi Bjorn,

        You should find more info on the place cleanup in the help text, but the english texts doesn't explain much.
        I will translate the dutch one for you:
        The place cleanup checks on incorrect use of the gedcom PLAC tag for storing data. This sometimes occurs in  CAST, DSCR, EDUC, IDNO, NATI, NCHI, NMR, OCCU, PROP, RELI, SSN and TITL tags. The program corrects this automatically.
        For instance:

        n SSN
        n PLAC 123-45-6789

        is changed into
        n SSN 123-45-6789.

        I hope this makes it clear.

        Regards,
        Boudewijn.
