Description Dan Winship 2011-03-16 16:55:26 UTC 
nm-applet parses tzdata's iso3166 file to get country names for country codes, but it should be using iso-codes instead, which (a) is intended for this, (b) includes translations, (c) is not confused about the name of GB
Comment 1 Dan Williams 2011-03-16 20:25:35 UTC 
Any quick pointers on using iso-codes?
Comment 2 Dan Williams 2011-03-16 20:26:54 UTC 
Ie,what would I use to parse the XML and insert the translations on-the-fly...
Comment 3 Dan Winship 2011-03-16 21:15:55 UTC 
There's no stock code for parsing it afaik. Use your favorite xml library. (There used to be a plain-text version of the file too, but they deprecated in favor of the XML. Meh.)

For the translations, just use dgettext("iso_3166", country_name)
Comment 4 Christopher Aillon 2011-04-02 05:29:14 UTC 
Well, there's gst_tag_get_language_name(), but I don't think NM wants a dependency on gstreamer...

Else, could do what totem used to do before it switched to gst_tag_get_language_name() and do the parsing yourself with a GMarkupParser.
