Well, consistency on the translation is indeed your problem..:-). I
would recommend you translate "United States of America" to whatever
it is, in full letters, in Swedish....and particularly not omitting
"Of America".

To say it in other words : marking this bug report as "wontfix" will
get my support. "Fixing" it by using the the Swedish equivalent of
"Great-Britain" will make me reget this but I have no way to enforce
it on the person doing the translation.

Still, using bogus names when translating things that are very
official and very important, like country names would be a very bad
precedent.

What we would then do if we learn for instance that the Persian
translator of iso-codes did translate Israel to something like "those
imperialist jewish pigs"?

The best quality of a translator is to be neutral. So, my advice:
- don't change the translation of UK
- fix the translation of US (ssems to be "Amerihká ovttastuvvan stáhtat"

:-)
