[Maps-l] [OSM-talk] Announcemen: Multilingual Country-List

[Arlindo Pereira]

I need some advice: I'm currently translating the names to Portuguese,
and for some countries the portuguese name differ from the brazilian
portuguese (which I speak) to the european portuguese. So, should I
tag, "official_/name:pt=one of the forms" or
"official_/name:pt=brazilian portuguese name; european portuguese
name"? Or maybe official_/name:pt_PT and official_/name:pt_BR?

Cheers,
