It can be fixed. I have found two problems in the approach after
my commit: 1) translation of country names and 2) sort order as you
pointed out. The former is solved using transtable template (see
doc/ja_JP.eucJP/share/sgml/transtable.{xml,xsl}), and I am working on
the latter problem, implementing sorting entries based on the
translated country name. Stay tuned :)
