Body: <p>I'm sure there is a simple solution to this that I'm missing - I have a custom profile that I'm setting up as a searchable directory that has a number of address fields displayed in the results
  Country, State, city. - Home
  Country, State, city. - Work
  Country, State, city. - Other </p>
  
  <p>The State field is returning as an abbreviation, or in the case of somewhere like France - a number. 
  Is there a way to display- (or retrieve given the returned value ) the full state name?</p>
