Hi,
I see you restored the names and am interested why. I wonder if name= should not be translated? To say "Kingdom" alone without specifying is not meaningful unless in Dutch?
So perhaps translate int_name but not name?

Hi,
The names for the EEZ of the Kingdom of the Netherlands had been entered consistently in many languages.
The edit that I've reverted here just changes name:en to Netherlands (EEZ) and Hollanda (EEZ), breaking this consistent naming. These names are also problematic as "Netherlands" is missing an article and is about a part of the Kingdom of the Netherlands and "Hollanda" is the name for two provinces in the Netherlands.
So both name and int_name can be translated, as it still is after my change, but it should be done with care.

Ah, I see. Thanks. Now I see why you did that, and it doesn't affect my query.
My point is, I can't see the sense in translating "EEZ of the Kingdom" in English (or "del Reino" in Spanish). The only time it makes sense to say "the Kingdom" without specifiying "Kingdom of the Netherlands" is if one is speaking Dutch. But others obviously disagree!
