Change address formats in Address Book
Authored by: zemble on Feb 06, '05 05:22:06AM

I agree it would be useful to have different address formats based on the country for each address. This is the one reason I still use Entourage, because it switches between English and Japanese formats at the flick of a menu and on an entry by entry basis. Address book seems to have just one format for everything and mixing Japanese (or I guess other 2-byte languages) with English makes things very unpleasant.

BTW, there are a lot of places in the UK which have to have the county (basically like 'state' in the US) specified. I'm from Sileby. Put that in the address without the county and few postmen will find it. Of course, theoretically, having the correct postcode should work, but even UK postcodes are a law unto themselves, not simple numbers like in the US or Japan.
