Typical use-cases: user can select profile language from autocomplete; User can select Country and city from dropdowns in a billing address form, etc.
How do you translate this information? For example, user may find English in autocomplete also by typing English in another language, let say typing both "English" or "Englisch" (in German) should return same ID.

I tend to look at Github for "database" type of repositories. Actually, I make some searches using www.gitlogs.com to spot the right project for my tech requirements!
For example, when searching for countries, I found umpirsky/country-list but that was to heavy and ended up using commerceguys/intl.
Same goes with mime types, I found this wonderful: jshttp/mime-db that I ended up using in my adrienrn/php-mimetyper
The idea is to take some community driven datasets that is built upon serious sources and supported by more people than just you alone !
