Wrong German translation of Hong Kong in Webservice

tloebhard opened this issue · comments

Hi,

https://restcountries.com/v2/name/Hong%20Kong
https://restcountries.eu/rest/v2/name/Hong%20Kong
deliver "de": "Hong Kong", (which is wrong)

In https://github.com/mledoze/countries/blob/master/countries.json it is correct: (https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hongkong)

            "deu": {
                "official": "Sonderverwaltungszone Hongkong der Volksrepublik China",
                "common": "Hongkong"
            },

In https://github.com/apilayer/restcountries/blob/master/src/main/resources/countriesV2.json (no more maintained?) there is this error, too, but I can't find the corresponding file here.

Maybe here needs something to be regenerated?

Thank you!
