Thanks for the screenshots.

"Calcutta" should work better.

The actual locations come from the geoname-lookup website, which you
can query directly as below:

http://geoname-lookup.ubuntu.com/?query=Calcutta

There is a deployment pending with the updated database of geonames. I
cannot test right now, but you can track progress of the deployment
via this bug:

The database we use comes from
http://www.geonames.org/search.html?q=kolkata&country=

The premium version does know about Kolkata, I cannot check right now
if the free one does as well.
