"For example, India, China, Egypt, and Germany are the English-language exonyms corresponding to the endonyms Bhārat (भारत), Zhōngguó (中国), Masr (مَصر), and Deutschland, respectively."
Funny, cause I thought about it for the fedi project from fedicamp.
But I did not know that there is a name for locale names :)
Due to the lack of wikidata SPARQL to deliver ActivityPub directly (only JSON-LD for full entities), our proxy “learns” well known places from various sources, like OSM, geonames, wiki-voyage -pedia and -data etc.
Also the concept "localized" is unfortunately not covered by ActivityPub multilanguage (which comes from the native JSON-LD multilang.)
What we do is now a two-pass cause wikidata is storing which languages are spoken in the country and so we can separate all the labels in the term endonym and the retronymic antonym.
