Hi,

I am working on the above module, and encountered the string of "m17n-db
input table for Myanmar".

For other surrounding strings (such as m17n-db input table for Japanese),
they are their language names. So that for 'Myanmar', I am guessing that
it should be replaced with the language spoken in Myanmar, assuming it
can be 'Burmese'.

As I don't know much about Myanmar, could someone give me an advice on this?

Thanks in advance!

Most of the world doesn't recognize Myanmar only Burma which is currently
under military rule with its democracy suspended.

Whichever you pick has political meaning so there are no good answers.

Alan,
Sorry not thanking your comment soon since away from PC during my holiday.
I've had a couple of search to gain some information and learnt that 
Japan is one of the country which recognize Myanmar.
Thank you for giving me a opportunity to learn!

For translation, I left it as 'Myanmar' in Japanese.

Thanks!
