[gdal-dev] gdal_translate eats projection parameter values

[Hermann Peifer]

Hi,

PARAMETER["Central_Meridian",10.0] from the projection file comes out 
as: PARAMETER["longitude_of_center",0]

PARAMETER["Latitude_Of_Origin",52.0] is changed to 
PARAMETER["latitude_of_center",0]

See the details below. Is there something wrong with my projection file 
or rather with GDAL?

Wondering, Hermann

PS: I am using gdal from trunk, revision 22757 from 
2011-07-19T18:57:35.878941Z

PPS: I reported a somewhat similar (?) issue 2 years ago, see 
http://trac.osgeo.org/gdal/ticket/3016
