#5022: Old version for relation 2668952 used?

 There seems to be a problem with the German translation for relation
 http://www.openstreetmap.org/browse/relation/2668952 when Nominatim
 searches for adresses using German locale in Austria or Germany. Examples
 are Mozartgasse in Wien
 (http://nominatim.openstreetmap.org/details.php?place_id=21015925) and
 Ballindamm in Hamburg
 (http://nominatim.openstreetmap.org/details.php?place_id=37831114). The
 translation for the relation of the European Union in German language is
 always "Europäischen Union" which is not correct. The translation should
 be "Europäische Union" instead. Some month ago I found this misspelling in
 name:de in the OSM data and fixed it - but up to now it does not show up
 in Nominatim searches. The relation 2668952 shows the right translation
 text in name:de (version 34) but in the place_id
 http://nominatim.openstreetmap.org/details.php?place_id=3674043432 there
 is still the old translation (and there are many translations for other
 languages missing that are available in version 34 of releation 2668952).
 Is there maybe an outdated cache?
 For me this is a major topic because users might have the impression that
 OSM data still are of low quality each time they enter a search. Other
 users also have detected this behaviour
 (http://forum.openstreetmap.org/viewtopic.php?id=21370) and other tools
 like http://www.maposmatic.org/ that are based on Nominatim show the same
 behaviour, too.
