Localized country names

Question

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

Answer 1

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.
