* Saint Petersburg (1991-) [en]
Assuming the default Places [[Gramps_{{Version manual}}_Wiki_Manual_-_Settings#PlacesDisplay|Preferences]] settings of auto-generation of titles is enabled,
automatic place title generation will choose the appropriate name, given the date of an event and the language code specified in the preferences. Where there is no event date available, or if the place is displayed without reference to an event, then today's date is used.
[[File:EventViewSaintPeterburgPlace.png|600px|thumb|right|Fig. 2. Saint Petersburg Event example]]
Events can be created at specific dates for this place and the title generation will follow the rules above. In the first event in Figure 2, the title generated is '?' because the place has no entries for this date (1500 is not between 1703 and today). In the second event in Figure 2, the generated title - Петрогра́д - corresponds to the first place that matches the date range since the language preference setting is blank. In the fourth event, again the generated title is the first place that matches the date range. Note that the order of the Alternate Names in Figure 1 is important in title generation when the default language is blank. If the Language is specified in the Places [[Gramps_4.2_Wiki_Manual_Gramps_{{Version manual}}_Wiki_Manual_-_Settings#PlacesDisplay|Preferences]], then that language will be used if found. If the language is not found, the first date match will be used.
The title generation is done at the event update, and it not refreshed if the Place is edited. In the case where the Place is updated, the event would have to be subsequently updated as well to regenerate the title with the corresponding change in the Place.
