 The alternames database contains geoname_id, language, and the name of the location in that language.

+- Note that for rows where the `preferred` ISO language is `en`, we have removed them as if the `preferred` ISO language is not present, the fallback value should default to English.
+- Where multiple entries are made for the same language, we have chosen the first entry. There obviously a better solution for this.
 
 The included notebook and databases can be used with a variety of IPinfo IP databases that include location information.
