Hi there. Great project! I have a CSV file with all the name you use for the elements translated into Spanish. If you think it might be helpful to add a translated version (or eventually add another property like "NAME_ES" or "NAME_SP" for example, just let me know and I send it over.

Hi there! As an addition to my previous comment: I see lots of minor adjustments to the data that can be done. As a couple of examples, for "Pamaps cultures", the correct name should be "Pampas cultures", and the geojson points seems to be ordered different at some years (so, for example, files world_900.geojson and world_1000.geojson start different, while there's no noticeable different in the region). If you agree, I can help to tidy all these and share with you, it you are willing to receive and merge this adjustments after revision. Please let me know.

Before translating, I think it's important to organize the data. Same cultures receive different names in different files. As a simple example: Teotihuacán appears also as Teotihuacàn or Teotihuac�n.

Besides correcting the names, I think it'd very useful to add an "id" (perhaps simply an integer number) to each element, and repeat when the same element continues in another years. Then, you can say "all this Teotihuacán are the same folks". Or, if you want to add some extra complexity, some other relations, like "continues", so you can say for example "British American Colonies" "is continued by" "United States of America".
