How to change the language to Norwegian

[Mihle]

@emyoulation

The Geography view only plots Places that has the GPS coordinates entered. And it doesn’t fallback to the nearest enclosing Place with GPS data.

I have not added cordinates to anything yet

@Mattkmmr

I also would recommend to avoid adding too many unused places like every individual grave on a graveyard. I’d add this data externaly like a map image of the graveyard included as a media object to the place and the grave number/plot added to the burial event of the persons, so you can look them up easily.

Yeah, I wold not do it that detailed, I would link it to the graveyeard and be done to it, If I happened to have a location I might add graves in notes on an event, but I dont care about that. Its also likely that any grave that is older than great grandparent is not there anymore, that someone else there is instead. (We reuse them in this country). Exeption is if they is the same place as someone newer or a graveyard that is not “popular”.

Just be aware that the Norwegian version still have a few wrongly translated words and terms…

I:E. the English Call Number. in Repository, are not “Telefonnummer” (Engl. "Phone Number) as translated, but in fact “Arkivreferanse” (an Archive Ref. Number).

there are also problems with the place types, they doesn’t work with our Norwegian administrative or place structure, not for administrative places, nor for clerical places.

But you can create your own, i.e. By, Tettsted, Plass, osv.
they just ain’t going to be translated to English.

Its bad translations. Even if other things dont fit perfectly with Norwegian administrative structure there might be something close enough for it to be OK ish.

If I knew how to edit a language pack or whatever its called, I might consider doing it, but I dont know how.

Still wonder what place type I should use for a put a municipality wide university (or even one that have buildings in two different ones).

What type of things would people with English as first language, use the type “Department” for? only goverment things like Department of Energy or other things too?
