Hi! I am working on an app in Yesod that craves I18N. A problem I've come across there is giving correct country and language names based on currently selected language. So far, I've used the Yesod I18N message approach, but a lot of hand coding is involved. The iso3166-country-codes [1] package at Hackage by Jon Fairbairn provides a start in the right direction, but an obvious improvement upon it would be to have a function or map that takes an ISO 639 code and an ISO 3166 code and gives the correct human-readable name for the country as per the chosen target language (the ISO 639 code), and another function/map for languages. It would alleviate coding those pesky country and language switchers a *lot*, among other things. Jon Fairbarn that coded the iso3166-country-codes package said in private correspondence that it seemed worthwhile doing, but he couldn't do it in his spare time, which is understandable. I am willing to do some of the stuff involved (I know Swedish, French and some Turkish in addition to the ubiquitous English), but obviously it's too big a project for one man to handle (what with all the c'n'p involved :) ). I feel that this should be done, since it seems it isn't yet. I am inexperienced in coordinating such endeavours, though, so I would like to share that task at least to begin with, if possible. Any thoughts? [1] http://hackage.haskell.org/package/iso3166-country-codes-0.20111111.4 /Fredrik
