Open-event-server: How can we search events by location?
Every of us know that we have different names of location in countries. Every country have own naming convention. How can we find events by locations?
For example Polska and Poland should return the same events

Why not use latitude and longitude ? That's not gonna change with language. We already have lat/long of all events. When a user enters a location name for searching, geocode that name to latitude and longitude, and use that to filter the events ...
