hi @dschneiter according to Wikidata and Wikipedia the French spelling for the Schwytz Canton is correct

In both sites Schwyz is also recognized as an alternate spelling, but unfortunately, we don't have support for aliases in EMS.

We typically don't override information provided by Wikidata/Wikipedia, and to change this at the source we would need to provide good normative information.

Do you have any official documentation sources we can use to leverage such a change?

Interestingly, the OSM relation spells the region name as Schwyz.
