A lot of location names are the same in many languages.
For exemplar cities we have root data, however for territories we don't. For territories I'm resolving the und name by using a Latin-script endonym (i.e. for region XY, resolve und-Latn-XY), and if that fails, just use English (not perfect, but it's better than the raw region code for both display purposes and deduplication).
