New format for translations

As proposed by @herrniemand, the format for translations has been updated to include official country names. Hereafter an example for Peru:

Before

        "deu": "Peru",
        "fra": "P\u00e9rou",
        "hrv": "Peru",
        "ita": "Per\u00f9",
        "jpn": "\u30da\u30eb\u30fc",
        "nld": "Peru",
        "por": "Per\u00fa",
        "rus": "\u041f\u0435\u0440\u0443",
        "spa": "Per\u00fa"
    }
}

After

{
    "translations": {
        "deu": {"official": "Republik Peru", "common": "Peru"},
        "fra": {"official": "R\u00e9publique du P\u00e9rou", "common": "P\u00e9rou"},

    }
}

Addition

Build

A new build system has been introduced by @petert82. The single script is split up into individual files in src/ and the symfony Console component as a dependency, to make it nice and easy to extend the conversion options in future.

To build the dist files, the command is now php countries.php convert.

Countries v1.6

Breaking changes

New format for country names.

The name property is now an object containing the common and official names of the country both in english and in the official native language of the country (the language used for this is identified by the new nativeLanguage property; see below).

Before

{
      "name": "Switzerland",
      "nativeName": "Schweiz",
      "..."
}

After

{
    "name": {
        "common": "Switzerland",
        "official": "Swiss Confederation",
        "native": {
            "common": "Schweiz",
            "official": "Schweizerische Eidgenossenschaft"
        }
    },
    "..."
}

New format for country languages.

The language property is now an object where keys are ISO 639-3 codes (alpha 3) and values are the name of the language in english.

The nativeLanguage property contains the ISO 639-3 code of the language used for the native country names.

Before

{   
    "...",
    "language": ["Finnish", "Swedish"],
    "languageCodes": ["fi", "sv"]
    "..."
}

After

{
    "...",
    "nativeLanguage": "fin",
    "languages": {
        "fin": "Finnish",
        "swe": "Swedish"
    },
    "..."
}

The keys in the translations property are ISO 639-3 languages codes as well.
