Kosovo is missing in world list #65

FIrst of all, thanks for work!

I've recently used your world list to translate a list of around 250 country codes. But I've noticed that the country code "xk" for "Kosovo" didn't get translated and after further research I found, that Kosovo and it's code are not represented in your world list based on ISO-3166.

Opening up the german wikipedia page for ISO-3166 it is there, but not on the englisch wikipedia page it doesn't seem to be there.

Notice, that Kosovo doesn't have a numeric ISO-3166 code

I'm not sure, if not containing Kosovo is intended, but in case not, I wanted to notify you of my findings.

Sorry for not expressing myself cleary, I meant the world.* files you are mentioning in the linked issue:

therefore, Kosovo is in the extended list contained in the world.* files

Before creating this issue I verified that I did download the correct file with all 249 countries. And now before writing this comment I downloaded both, the world. and countries. files in JSON and tried to search for "xk" or "kosovo" in VS Code, but as far as I can see these list do not contain Kosovo.

I attach two screenshots. The first with the download config I chose.

And the second of VS Code with the JSON opened and searching for Kosovo.

I am aware that searching in VS Code has different options such as case sensitive search and I toggled everyone of them to make sure that one option isn't prevent VS Code to find Kosovo.

Hello, thanks for this awesome List. I would like to ask, what is the standing on this issue.

stefangabos commented 1 year ago

all the data starts from the data here and kosovo is not there. since all the other languages are basing there data on this page, there's no kosovo in those either...

if i had a source where i'd find kosovo's name in all supported language i could take if from there

Interestingly enough the German Wikipedia page about ISO 3166-1 does include Kosovo but also states:

Der Kosovo ist völkerrechtlich umstritten. 115 der 193 UN-Mitglieder haben den Kosovo bisher anerkannt. „X“-Codes wie vielleicht „XK“ oder „XXK“ usw. sind private, nicht maßgebliche Zuweisungen. ISO-Codes existieren bislang nicht.

Which translates to English as approx.:

Kosovo is disputed under international law. 115 of the 193 UN members have recognized Kosovo so far. "X" codes such as perhaps "XK" or "XXK" etc. are private, non-authoritative assignments. ISO codes do not exist yet.

So I guess that is the reason that the English Wikipedia page about ISO 3166-1 does not include the Kosovo.
