That's another issue. I need to sort my ideas, but we have the iso-codes package with translations for several iso standards. That's something we should share with any project out there and that's not possible if we put it inside a GNOME library. Then I want to add something like icu but based on glib, libc, pango and of course iso-codes' translations. That part will not depend on GNOME but will depend on some GNOME technologies. > > What I meant with external dependency was the problem of maintaining > code, quality, size etc...

I'm not talking about icu. icu was my first idea but as we saw, it's a big dependency with redundant data (pango, libc, and other standard libraries). It's just a matter to add the missing API, that's what I will try to do. > > there come my "fears"... > I understand you but I don't think you should be afraid about the external dependency. I will develop it with GNOME as the main objective but I will try that other projects could reuse it without pain.
