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..
