Although I do not want to disadvantage our foreign colleagues, maintaining a multilingual catalog is not easy. Country: 1 France>France 2 Romania>Romania 3 Soviet Union>Soviet Union. You have to choose from a list and even this has mistakes. Language: if anyone has a solution or wants to clean it up I'd love to hear it Polish/Polonais, Italian/Italien, Arabic/Arabe and the very many others

The reason is that at the start of Catawiki, 12 years ago, most fields could be filled in freely. The country table has now been closed, but there was still some tidying up. Translations of country names are not yet complete either. Is a one-time promotion that someone has to sit down for once.

The three countries you mention are now ok.

Thanks for the quick response (although it remains a strange phenomenon that I see some adjustments on my smartphone and some not). @Arco I see you deleted my adjustments back, why Estonian?

That's the name of that language, not Estonian, that's second or third choice. We use Estonian everywhere.

With Dutch stamps you should know that ;-)) This is really far-fetched, Roman numerals in the stamps III, IX, ... Don't forget to mention that 1, 2, 3, ... Arabic numerals its ... LOL

Another question (cache problem or do you have to do something for this): I have emptied the countries "Curiosa and fun tickets" and "Multiple countries", but they still remain in the list? Someone with world knowledge who knows whether "Congo-Kinshasa", "Democratic Republic of Congo" and "Republic of Congo" belong together? After all, there is also "Zaire".

In Other, the Country and Language fields are a closed list. Everything has been cleaned up and possibly merged.
The translations have also been entered for all countries and languages.
If a country or language is missing, please message me.

Thank you Collectioneur !
I'll leave the decision to the admin of the Raoul62 section, but I'd find the same list useful for the seal stamp section as well...

You mean to make a closed list of the countries in the Closing Stamps section? That should indeed determine Raoul62.

The disadvantage of a closed list is that with a new country you have to ask the super admin to add it.
The advantage of a closed list is evident that all sorts of wrong names are not entered. More countries can also be added, without any items attached. With an open list, the names with no items attached are removed once a day.

In the Sealing Stamp section, Language is not used, and 'Countries' is an open list.
It can certainly stay that way. After all, all newly introduced sealing stamps pass my eyes.
Using the same list as with Stamps would be a bit too much. After all, there are many countries/areas in between that may never appear in the Sealing Stamps section.
