You should certainly get in contact with the local community before
doing any sort of mass import of names in a language you don't
understand. For example last time your Vietnamese names had not been
that satisfactory.
Did you read my answer in german Mailinglist and the link to further
discussion?

It was not so negative.
How about providing an easy to proof-read extract for the local
communities before doing the actual import?
And maybe also double-checking that the admin boundaries of 3166-2
you're going to use are accurate.
My vague idea to do this is to create a table in the wiki.
Stephan
