Hello!

If I was an Iranian Azeri, that would cause absolutely no problem to me 
as seing something in my native language, especially in a country where 
  "Azeri language had been removed from official use in all areas, 
including, schools, courts, government structures, and the army and 
specific forms of Azeri cultural expression are prohibited as well [1]"
Gnome would even make me happier displaying some azeri in latin.

However, I am not that person, and that is only my personal opinion.

I'd like to hear Amir's thoughts about this, and how they would like to 
see their untranslated or missing translations. If they choose to see 
English instead of Latin Azeri, it is absolutely no problem with me to 
switch to az_AZ globally (Danilo, I always use az_AZ by the way).
