Countries and country subdivisions (regions) are part of the iso-codes=20
translation catalogs we depend on already anyway. See also https://
phabricator.kde.org/T12429 for an API proposal to make that easily accessib=
le=20
(needs feedback to continue).

Cities also recently came up in the context of KWeather. If we want that, i=
t=20
might be doable by compiling the city database ourselves based on OSM/
Wikidata, including all translations found in there. That is very likely al=
so=20
not complete, but certainly a lot more realistic than trying to translate t=
his=20
ourselves.
