Localized country names

Question

Where can I get the country names in all languages? I need these to localize an application.

Answer 1

The proper location to get this information from is CLDR - Unicode Common Locale Data Repository.

There you can find an updated list of countries (core/common/main), the data is available in numerous formats.

Answer 2

I recommend this site: https://github.com/umpirsky/country-list

List of all countries with names and ISO 3166-1 codes in all languages and data formats.

Answer 3

There's probably an ISO standard document you can buy (a useful standard is ISO 3166-1, I think).

On the other hand, you might just be able to scrape through the various language versions of this wikipedia page, since it has a list of country names. I did a random check and it seemed the entire list was in at least one non-English language, too.
