Thanks for the update! So the field needs to be populated in the language of the country? It does make sense.

Update: She was able to successfully transact using "Roma" in the state field. Not "Rome," but "Roma"

Perhaps it makes sense to dynamically pre-populate the state/province list upon country selection, so that we're exposing only valid options?

Here's some more insight:

This article spells out lists of allegedly valid Italian Province names:

Using "Roma" in the State/Province field also produces Error# 10711.

This post suggests Italian use "the two-character province abbreviation (ex.: GE):

...and is supported by this comment:

Just had the customer try again using RM for State/Province and still get:
Error# 10711. Invalid Data. There's an error with this transaction. Please enter your state in the billing address.

Confirmed that Country code IT is not a valid state/province value.

PayPal Pro Forms AMEX with Rome, Italy address

Hi Jason,

An italian AMEX fails with the following message, seemingly due to absent or invalid "State" field in the billing address:

-------- Output string/vars: ( Tue Aug 23, 2011 1:52:08 pm UTC ) --------

'__error' => 'Error# 10711. Invalid Data. There\'s an error with this transaction. Please enter your state in the billing address.',
)

The customer tried leaving state/province field blank as well as trying "Rome" in both the city and state/province fields.

One gentleman suggests using the country code as the state/province value, but I'm skeptical:

Mahalo!
