This is just a test.

This updates a bunch of locales based on CLDR v28 data:
bg_BG: changing Bulgaria to ÐÑлгаÑиÑ
I've asked my Bulgarian friend to verify.
bo_CN: changing à½à¾²à½´à½à¼à½§à¾à¼à½à½²à¼à½à½à½à½¦à¼à½¦à¾¤à¾±à½²à¼à½à½à½´à½à¼à½¢à¾à¾±à½£à¼à½à½à¼ to རà¾à¾±à¼à½à½
bo_IN: changing རà¾à¾±à¼à½à½¢ to རà¾à¾±à¼à½à½¢à¼
cy_GB: changing Cymru to Y Deyrnas Unedig
dz_BT: changing འà½à¾²à½´à½à¼ to འà½à¾²à½´à½
en_US: changing USA to United States
This is expected. I think several style guides have been using
"United States" and US as the most common form of name and
abbreviation for the the country in question.
es_US: changing USA to Estados Unidos
Likewise. In both Mexico, Florida, and Latin America.
gd_GB: changing Breatainn Mhòr to An Rìoghachd Aonaichte
ha_NG: changing X to Najeriya
mk_MK: changing Macedonia to ÐакедониÑа
mn_MN: changing Mongolia to Ðонгол
tr_TR: changing Turkey to Türkiye
vi_VN: changing Viá»t nam to Viá»t Nam
yo_NG: changing X to OrÃlẹÌède Nà ìjÃrÃÃ
This is in Yoruba and the official language in X.
It roughly translates to "The Constitution of X"
or just "X"
sq_MK: changing Macedonia to Maqedoni
tr_CY: changing Northern Cyprus to Güney Kıbrıs Rum Kesimi
ug_CN: changing ä¸å人æ°å
±åå½ to جÛÚÚ¯Ù
wae_CH: changing Switzerland to Schwiz
zu_ZA: changing Mzansi Afrika to i-South Africa
I would have expected "iNingizimu Afrika" as the official
zulu name for South Africa.
However, Zulu's `i-` is a full noun prefix, and it's common
that locative places in Zulu should use their English name
with the full noun prefix, thus: i-South Africa.
So while the expected official name is rather more complicated
I expect CLDR is using the most common form in use by South
Africans e.g. i-South Africa (and probably a lot of other
i-<Something> entries too).
In summary: LGTM, pending Bulgarian spot verification.
Cheers,
Carlos.
