Hi friends,
How to change the marked part. It is showing as “Keral” now, it should be corrected as “Kerala” or “Keralam”

You are misconfused.
It’s shows as it is.
On connect home page,
their is not a full sufficient place to display your all characters of location.
So, there are showing as first some characters of location.
Click on your that post and even this post,
And goes to end of the post.
Check “kerala” Is displayed.
Palakkad, kerela, India.
All are fine. @dotcompals

A maximum number of 15 characters (space included) are displayed on the location in the preview of the post, @dotcompals , that’s the reason why the last character is missing.
As @KishorMali said, on the post the location is fine

Hello @dotcompals
You have received two replies confirming that the name of the state is accurate.
However, that doesn’t answer how to correct that.
For that, you have to make a suggestion in the idea exchange to increase the number of characters. Alternatively, let the display exhibit abbreviations like KL, GJ, MH etc. like the ones used in the vehicle registration.

Sorry @C_T
I don’t find any issue regarding current situation.
This will makes more confusing.
Vehicle plats having it’s own identity.
And local guides connect is worldwide forum. Many local guides are publishing that articles from their various locations.
And current situation is more helpful to understanding the location.
After giving plate like ideology, it will makes more and more confusing.
And some may be GJ, having various locations on world.
The 15 characters with space as mentioned by @ErmesT , is very good and sufficient.
And it’s gives a bit highlight that this location it is.
For example,
German
We can understand it’s Germany.
We are wandering about first title of the post, then content of the post and that at the last,
location of posting.
I will suggest you, @dotcompals
That mark @ErmesT 's response as your solution of the post(question).
Because it’s having proper information regarding your question.
For this,
You need to click on 3 dots.
Then a popup will open.
Click on accept as the solution.
And now your post has a solution!!
It’s shows as green button.
Thanks.

Hello, @KishorMali
Sorry to counter your argument. But If we can accept abbreviations like CA, TX, AZ, what’s wrong with GJ and MP?.
Here’s is a screenshot.
But, if you do not know what’s the meaning of TX or NY or PA, then that’s a different case.

@C_T yes, you’ve a point there. But, i think we may need to use 3 letter abbr. like KER for Kerala.

Still I didn’t observed location’s name deeply.

Well, as you mention it’s different case. I suggesting you publish this idea in idea exchange.
Indian local guides community will supporting you.

No. @dotcompals
2 letters are sufficient.
But in case when the short of will matches each other,
It will 3 or 4 or 5 latters are good.
But, I thought it’s only applying on few cases.
You are free to suggest anything @dotcompals
That may or may not see any light of the day. However, it’s always easier to convince to fall in line with any existing practice.
Further, that practice of adding an extra “a” at the end is through our colonial past. We are always happy to say Lord Ramaa but not Bhagavan Ram.

You can find KL is Kerala in this list.

Looking at the number plate I can very well understand that the vehicle standing in front of me is from JH or WB. @KishorMali
And since the site displays a map below, everyone can understand the whereabouts of a place.

I am not say anything with using westen culture. Or it’s impact of Western people to our culture.
I always say Shri Ram. Because it’s more appropriate.
And when we called our faculties “Sir”, as you know “sir” Is using for very prestigious person of the state in other countries specially European.
Well, I am also saying sir but I calling my faculties “professor” Or in Gujarati “saheb”.because it’s more logical and accepted.
In conclusion, we need to give importance to our culture first, rest all will following us.
Hello @dotcompals
One more observation. On Maps in bio, you are exhibiting your contact number. That’s incorrect. The forum encourages everyone to protect privacy and identity.
Further, you are engaged in business.
There is nothing wrong for a business owner to become an LG.
However, the two activities should be at arm’s length and should never mix up.

@C_T sure, i can make amends. Thank you for your suggestions.
This is not be “रंगे हिल्स”. It should be “रेंज हिल्स”. How to correct this?
नमस्कार
कनेक्ट वर तुमचे स्वागत आहे.
खरे म्हणजे तुमचा प्रश्न मूळ मुद्द्याला सोडून आहे.
मूळ प्रश्न होता- कनेक्ट वर नकाशातील स्थानाचे नाव अर्धवट दिसते.
तरीही मी तुमच्या प्रश्नाचे उत्तर देत आहे.
रेंज हिल्स हे नाव एडिटेबल नाही.
त्यामुळे अभिप्राय पाठवणे हा एकच मार्ग आपल्याला उपलब्ध आहे.
तो तुम्ही वापरला का?
आपल्या सारखे अनेक स्थानिक मार्गदर्शक जेंव्हा असा प्रस्ताव पाठवतील तेंव्हा त्यात नक्कीच बदल होईल.
जर बदल दिसून आला नाही तर आपण स्क्रीनशॉट जोडून कनेक्ट वर एक नवीन पोस्ट जरूर करा.
