Hi Arthur,

Thanks for the response. Since the only Android device I have access
to is a Kindle, which does not support your application, I need a
little more guidance.

Where are those names used in the application? Would it make more
sense to have them translated as "COUNTY_NAME" or "COUNTY_NAME
county"? A screenshot would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
  Strainu
