Using Java's own Locale data for region names #302

Open Huulivoide opened 5 years ago

Huulivoide commented 5 years ago

Instead of having to duplicate and manually translate the region names and data with the raw xml files, Java's build-in Locale data could probably be used.

Current we are using a following trick to generate a list of localized country names for the user to select from:

// Code in Kotlin

Locale
  .getISOCountries() // Fetch list of ISO 3166 country codes
  .map { // Create a new Locale in users default language, but set country to X
    it to Locale("", it).displayCountry // then extract the localized name of the country.
  } 
  .toMap() // Turn into Map with ISO 3166 key and Localised country name as value

@Huulivoide, thank you so much for this. We were looking for something like this. We will check the feasibility of this and incorporate this idea.
