State Dropdown Menu - Data is where?

[Peace Freak]

I have just updated to 1.3.5 and now have the State Drop down menu visible...

My store is based in Japan and so I need to have the different states (actually prefectures) listed. I did a search in Admin / Developers Tool Kit for some US states that are listed in the US State pulldown menu but could not come up with any results, so I do not know where or how to add them...

Can anyone get me up to speed?

Thanks!

I have a two language cart and I entered the prefecture names in the Zones area of the Admin in Japanese, 47 in all, so that the names appear in the State Dropdown menu when customers are making a new account.

I then checked out how they looked and realized I needed to add them in English for the English side, which I did (another 47!) but then found the pulldown menu to be populated with BOTH E and J versions, not very nice looking and when in the English side the Japanese is of course unreadable. (Of course, I had added the Japanese names when logged into the Admin on the J side and visa versa for the E side...)

So I deleted the English set of 47... (I tell ya, 47 does not sound like many but it is quite an effort!) and then as a temporary fix, I re-edited the 47 Japanese names, this time putting the English name, a hyphen, then the Japanese name... Not elegant, but it works...

How do I make the English ones appear when on the E side and only the Japanese ones to appear when on the J side...

What do people do that have 5 or 6 language carts? I know I must be missing something...

Can anyone please suggest what I might do?

There is no multi-language support for zone-names at the present time.

Thanks Dr. Byte...

I will log a feature request for it...

I am sure I am not the only one who would like this feature now that the state dropdown menu feature has become standard in the sign up window...
