My guess is that it is in the form:
City, Region Country
Berlin is both a city and the name of the federal state Berlin (city) is in. So for somewhere else in Germany it might be:
Koeln, Nord-Rhine Westphalia Germany
It's just confusing because it's Berlin twice so it doesn't strike me as a bug per se.
Köln
might not be found by an employer who offers a position in Cologne, North Rhine-Westphalia Germany
(that's what Köln is changed into automatically). Having a common a database here is a good thing. Let them switch the API for location lookup if it#s not appropriate but don't use free text field. Anyway: Change it for what reason? Cause it doesn't look nice???
