No, you can’t address an issue that is specific to one set of people by changing the UI translation for a different set of people. Specifically, translating “middle name” and “surname” to “apellido paterno” and “apellido materno” respectively in Spanish (a) wouldn’t help any Spaniard who is in the address book of anyone who doesn’t use Spanish as their UI language, and (b) would be misleading for every non-Spanish person who has a middle name in the address book of someone who *does* use Spanish as their UI language. In addition, it would be (c) misleading for every Spaniard born since 1999 whose parents had decided to put the mother’s name first, father’s name second, and (d) inappropriate for Hispanic Americans who really do have a middle name.

As an example: Jordi López Echevarría Where the first is the given name, followed by the first surname and the second surname. When importing the contacts from gmail, it seems the first surname is being discarded (I assume they are treated as middle name?), resulting in an incorrect contact name in the Ubuntu address book. e.g.: Jordi Echevarría To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/canonical-devices-system-image/+bug/1548783/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~touch-packages Post to : touch-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~touch-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
