PostalAddress Selecting a State/Province for Japan

[jesse.thomas]

    When I try to create an address to ship to Japan the states are in
Japanese characters. I need to select Shizuoka but have no idea which
one to choose. This prevents us from entering a Japanese address,
Chinese address, Probably others too....


北海道
青森県
岩手県
宮城県
秋田県
山形県
福島県


etc.


Does anyone know of a solution?


this can be reproduced on the demos for trunk and 16.x


Thanks,

Hi Jesse,

Following data comes from Geo entity & its data is prepared in
GeoData_JP.xml. Values in "wellKnownText" field have the values in English
so you can probably use them to prepare your own data. You can replace the
value of "geoName" with "wellKnownText" & load the data.

HTH
