add colums or another table of official names in each official lang #21

There are other official langs than en and fr, but there are many.... As #15 suggest, the CSV can include "official langs", so, we can add more columns (or another new CSV) to show name_es, name_pt, etc. for the more used langs.

these are not each country's official languages, these are the country names published as part of ISO 3166

Yes (!), like name_fr column...The official name of "Brazil" in Brazil is name_pt="Brasil", and they say name_pt="Irã" not "Iran".

PS: I comment the issue 15 because it show a rule or criteria to elect the new columns (we not need a lot of name_langX new columns, only the "statistically necessary") .
