Well: 1) I think that thinking that a given language should translate the official name and the "short" name differently when the English name is NOT different is plain wrong. The standard has "Brunei Darussalam" for both entries and the translations should follow that. If they don't, they're incorrect. FYI, the only translation that has an official status in the standard is the French one and the translation for this country is "Brunei Darussalam" 2) I don't see how that can be achieved with gettext So, well, I think this bug is to be tagged "wontfix". -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to the bug report. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/44528 Title: Missing "official name" entries.
