Where can I get the country names in all languages? I need these to localize an application.

A:
There's probably an ISO standard document you can buy (a useful standard is ISO 3166-1, I think).
On the other hand, you might just be able to scrape through the various language versions of this wikipedia page, since it has a list of country names. I did a random check and it seemed the entire list was in at least one non-English language, too.

The ISO 3166-1 is about country codes. However, if I understand the question correctly Pangea wants a list of all country names in all languages. E.g. Danmark (da), Denmark (en), Dänemark (de), Dinamarca (es) etc.

Look at the Wikipedia article titled List of country name in various languages. That should be exactly what you are looking for.

The proper location to get this information from is CLDR - Unicode Common Locale Data Repository.
There you can find an updated list of countries, the data is available in numerous formats.

And it's vetted and in XML format, ready to consume. No 'scraping' needed.
