Hello OSM folks
For the integration of osm into the wikipedia there will be localized
maps in all languages that have their own wikipedia. The problem is,
that a lot of countries are not translated yet.
To get an overview over the status and make translating those countries
more easy, I created a tool that can be found at
http://cassini.toolserver.org/~mazder/multilingual-country-list/<http://…
I'd like to encourage everyone to spend some time making translated maps
better. Comments welcome!

For the OSM translations, do we really want separate name:arz tags (Egyptian
Arabic), when the country names are the same as standard Arabic? Having a
separate Wikipedia for Egyptian was controversial in the first place, and
many don't really consider it a separate language but rather consider it a
dialect.
In the postgres db views, can we map the Arabic (ar) names to arz?
There may be other situations like this, where separate tags in OSM might
not be needed.
