add iso-codes from the debian package

[kehh]

http://pkg-isocodes.alioth.debian.org/ is a source of iso code data plus translations in various locales. On a debian system this can be installed using

apt-get install iso-codes

These codes by default are installed at

/usr/share/xml/iso-codes/

There is also a package which can be used to access the iso-codes in different locales called isoquery

apt-get install isoquery

Here's the isoquery man page:
ISOQUERY(1)
NAME

isoquery - Search and display various ISO codes (country, language, ...)
SYNOPSIS

isoquery
[options] [file] [ISO codes]
DESCRIPTION

This manual page documents briefly the
isoquery
command.
It can be used to generate a tabular output of the ISO standard
codes provided by the package iso-codes.
It parses the XML files and shows all included ISO codes or just
matching entries, if specified on the command line.
Moreover, it's possible to get all available translations for
the ISO standard.
OPTIONS

This program follows the usual GNU command line syntax, with long
options starting with two dashes (`-').
isoquery
supports the following options:

-i, --iso=NUMBER

The ISO standard to use.
Possible values: 639, 3166, 4217, 15924 (default: 3166)

-n, --name

Name for the supplied codes (default)

-o, --official_name

Official name for the supplied codes.
This may be the same as --name.

-c, --common_name

Common name for the supplied codes.
This may be the same as --name.

-l, --locale=LOCALE

Use this locale for output.

-x, --xmlfile=FILE

Use another XML file with ISO data.
(default: /usr/share/xml/iso-codes/iso_3166.xml)

-0, --null

Separate entries with a NULL character instead of newline.

-h, --help

Show summary of options.

-v, --version

Show program version and copyright.

EXAMPLES

If called without any command line options,
isoquery
will put out a table of all ISO 3166 codes.
The first three columns contain the alpha-2 code, the alpha-3 code,
and the numerical code assigned to the country listed in the
fourth column.
$ isoquery
AF AFG 004 Afghanistan
[...]
ZW ZWE 716 Zimbabwe
If you need only some countries, you can specify any of the codes in
the first three columns to cut down the output.
$ isoquery so nor 484
SO SOM 706 Somalia
NO NOR 578 Norway
MX MEX 484 Mexico
Should you need the translations of the countries' names, just specify
in which locale you'd like to see the output.
Please note that the original English name will be shown if there is no
translation available for the specified locale.
$ isoquery --locale=nl fr de es
FR FRA 250 Frankrijk
DE DEU 276 Duitsland
ES ESP 724 Spanje
All of the above works for different ISO standards as well, so you can
switch to language names by using the --iso command line option.
For ISO 639, the first three columns are the ISO 639 2B code, the
ISO 639 2T code and the ISO 639-1 code.
The third column may be empty.
$ isoquery --iso=639
aar aar aa Afar
abk abk ab Abkhazian
ace ace Achinese
[...]
zun zun Zuni
zxx zxx No linguistic content
zza zza Zaza; Dimili; Dimli; Kirdki
You can trim down the results by specifying only some codes. Moreover,
the option to get translated names is also available.
$ isoquery --iso=639 --locale=pt vi bo kl
vie vie vi Vietnamita
tib bod bo tibetano
kal kal kl Kalaallisut; Greenlandic
You can get selected translations of currency names from the ISO 4217
standard by using the following command.
The first two columns are the alpha-3 code and the numerical code
assigned to the currency.
$ isoquery --iso=4217 --locale=da cad 392
CAD 124 Canadisk dollar
JPY 392 Japansk yen
If you need to get script names, you can use the ISO 15924 table.
The first two columns are the alpha-4 code and the numerical code
assigned to the script.
$ isoquery --iso=15924 jpan latn 280
Jpan 413 Japanese (alias for Han + Hiragana + Katakana)
Latn 215 Latin
Visp 280 Visible Speech
