Description enwei.zhang 2015-11-09 09:31:31 UTC 
For China, the current LC_ADDRESS is "%c%N%T%N%s %h %e %r%N%b%N%d%N%f%N%a%N"
In China, the word "Town" is not equal to City. It is an administrative unit between County and Village. Maybe %S should be used.
For Indian, the current LC_ADDRESS is "%z%c%T%s%b%e%r", it is not correct.
The correct one may be "%b%f%r%s%e%T%z%S%c"
Thank you.
