Hi Enwei,

Regarding using Open Cage API, that may make sense. they probably have a better sense of how to localize addresses than we do.

They are in "beta". They say the first 2500 requests per day are free. What happens if we exceed 2500? They do arrange for paid for service. But I do not see a price.

Can you ask YC whether switching makes sense to him.

Let's assume for now we do not switch to Open Cage API:
1) Please include "postcode" (%z Zip number, postal code)
2) You seem to know the correct Indian and Chinese address formats, so please use them instead of LC_ADDRESS.
3) It is not clear to me why the country names in "formated_name" are translated but they are not translated in "address". Please note that if you need translated country names, you can get them using the function DGettext("iso_3166", COUNTRYNAME).
