While the new suggestion list feature for subjects - people - places - times is great, the sheer amount of duplicate entries and different systems can make it extremely difficult to choose one, and also prevents an internationalization.

Take Zürich for example, get the following suggestions when entering it as place:

  • Zurich
  • Zurich (Switzerland)
  • Zürich, Zurich (Canton)
  • Zurich (Switzerland : Canton)
  • Zürich (Canton)
  • Zürich (Switzerland)
  • Zurich Oberland
  • Lake of Zurich
  • Zurich Oberland (Switzerland)
  • Zurich Region
  • Zürich (Switzerland : Canton)
  • "Zurich, Lake of (Switzerland)"
  • "Region Zurich, Lake of"
  • "Zurich, Lake of, Region (Switzerland)"
  • Zürich (Kanton)
  • "Zürich, Lake of (Switzerland)"
  • Zurich Region (Switzerland)
  • Zürich <2008>
  • "Kilchberg (Zurich, Switzerland)"
  • "Wiedikon (Zurich, Switzerland)"
  • Lake Zurich
  • "Region Zürich, Lake of"
  • Kilchberg (Zurich),
  • Bank of Zurich

Describe the problem that you'd like solved

Despite the sheer amount of suggestions, not all of them are even easily distinguished: If I just choose "Zurich", is it the city, the canton, the lake? And if it is the city, which one? The one in Switzerland, the one in the Netherlands, the one in Canada, one of the US-Zurichs?

See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zurich_(disambiguation) for different Zürichs.

Proposal & Constraints

Ideally, each of these places should be clearly identified with one system, and then be linked to several i18n translations. (The same is true for other subjects.)

An example:

  • Zürich, Zurich (Canton)
  • Zurich (Switzerland : Canton)
  • Zürich (Canton)
  • Zürich (Switzerland : Canton)
  • Zürich (Kanton)

should be turned into:
EN: Zürich (Canton: Switzerland)
FR: Zurich (Canton: Suisse)
DE: Zürich (Kanton: Schweiz)
IT: Zurigo (Canton: Svizzera)

(Not necessarily this exact format, I needed to choose one for demonstration purposes. Only the language which is currently "active" should be shown, so if I use it with language preference German, the DE entry.)
