Well, as you may have read, this won't stop the problem as the short
list is still untanslated.
We need one good perl/shell/whatever wizard who finds a solution for
translating the built-on-the-fly short list

Well, I'm unfortunately pretty sure that whatever solution we find to
this, some people will still think this is not acceptable as long as
the solution does not implement their own solution.
For those people who think that this wil remain unacceptable and
insist on replacing the current name, I will politely ask them to also
propose a new names for FYROM, "Palestinian territory, occupied",
"Lybian Arab Jimahiriya".....of course, the solution has to be
accepted by all involved parties
The National Geographic Atlas has unfortunately less legitimity than
ISO in my eyes for defining international standards. NGA is a USA
organisation with, from my point of view, a quite oriented way of
approaching things (should I mention the censorship stories which
happened in their publications).
