Nominatim does not find Port-au-Prince as city in Haiti
Vum ALE! matgedeelt de(n) 16. Januar 2010 op English.Could somebody check, why OSM Nominatim does not find Port-au-Prince in Haiti?
EDIT: Sorry, it does find it but says that it lies in "Repiblik Ayiti" which is not straightforwardly indentifiable as Haiti.

It says "Port-au-Prince, Haiti" for me.
What language are you using, what is your browser set to?
It looks like Nominatim is getting the country name from this relation: osm.org/browse/relation/307829
Its currently tagged with name:de, name:en and name:fr. If you're not using one of those languages, Nominatim will show the default (local) name tag which is Repiblik Ayiti.
There's also a node for Haiti, which has more languages for the name: osm.org/browse/node/424297281

Repiblik Ayiti is Republic of Haiti (in Kreyol)
