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,
The list of languages presented is derived from the languages that their own wikipedia [1], because that's the most prominent place those localized maps will be visible. If you're unsure I'd suggest to use the name of the corresponding article in the wikipedia for the language-code on the list.
Despite of that feel free to add another tag with the other name. Please take a look at [2] and check if there's a language-code for it. Please consider also asking at talk-pt [3], although there's not much traffic..
