For this reason, we've chosen to implement a uniform policy of Primary Local Usage.\nUnder this policy, the English Google Earth client\ndisplays the primary, common, local name(s) given to a body of water by the sovereign nations that border it. If all bordering countries agree on the name, then the common single name is displayed (e.g. \"Caribbean Sea\" in English, \"Mar Caribe\" in Spanish, etc.). But if different countries dispute the proper name for a body of water, our policy is to display both names, with each label placed closer to the country or countries that use it.",

By saying \"primary\", we aim to include names of dominant use, rather than having to add every conceivable local nickname or variation. By saying \"common\", we mean to include names which are in widespread daily use, rather than giving immediate recognition to any arbitrary governmental re-naming. In other words, if a ruler announced that henceforth the Pacific Ocean\nwould be named after her mother, we would not add that placemark unless and until the name came into common usage. Finally, by saying\n\"local\", we aim to reflect the primary and common names used by countries that actually border the body of water, as they are the countries recognized under international law as having a special sovereign stake in it.",
