Hi,

I’m using GetGOV to add new places in Gramps. Adding places works fine but the date ranges are wrong.

A date range looks like: from 1900-01-01 to 1999-01-01. The words “from” and “to” should be translated into the language Gramps is using.

I’m using Gramps in German so my date range should be: von 1900-01-01 bis 1999-01-01. But it is in English and my Gramps doesn’t understand this.

Can anybody try this with German (or another language) and post the result?

Thank you.

Update:

I built my own Gramplet to customize the import of GOV data.

In this Gramplet the error with date ranges is fixed.
