Hi John

that would be great if this can be moved/refactored into kdelibs. I think
iso-codes integration will be quite useful to a lot of KDE software so
kdelibs (I guess somewhere around KLocale classes) would be a good place for
it.
I was originally planning to write generic code so it should be fairly easy
to move it, though I did not spend too much time polishing it as I had big
kxkb refactoring ahead of me at that point so currently there's one common
IsoCodes class that I am using for showing languages in kcm_keyboard.

And I don't see why it wouldn't work on other platforms.

Let me know if you want to talk about it more.

Thanks,
Andriy
