Hi, I am not sure if this has been looked into well, but there is one issue on standardizing on Country and language names. Many applications use them, and in many cases have their own list. Atleast for Hindi there seems inconsistency in their transliteration/translation, in many cases the pronounciation is not as would be expected. Many country and language names already have an Indian way of writing them, but some which were not that historically linked/known dont seem to have correct representation (or we dont know of).
some examples. Catalan - कॉतालां or केतेलेन or केतेलां - whats the correct representation? Bulgarian - बुलगेरियाई or बुलगेरियन Japanese - जापानी (already prevalent), जापानीस Chinese - चीनी (already prevalent), चायनीस China - चीन and not चायना or चैना Xhosa - how is it pronounced? I was wondering if any language teams have worked on having a standard list which could be reused. If not already done, what could be done is pick up full list of countries (ISO 3166) and languages (ISO 639), an provide their appropriate transliteration/translation. Idea is to have an accurate representation This could be pushed as a seperate activity, from where other projects can pick up later. Please give comments/suggestions on how to take this forward.
