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?
I think I remember someone using @ instead of _ in those OSM language codes for these kind of differences, I don't remember if that is "approved" or anything (possibly it was part of this same thread). But by all means add both forms (either both in name:pt or separate tags) so that they become searchable.
Cheers
