I am looking for suggestions to help people describe how to say their name on Nostr.

More specifically, I am trying to find a way to translate names between languages that don't share the same alphabet (Mandarin to Latin, Hindi to Arabic, etc) and thus it's impossible for the reader to know how to say a name.

Do we place an audio recording at the User Metadata level? Maybe there is some phonetic way to describe people's names? Do we just add alternative writings for Display Name? How many? And how would the app know which one to select to display?

Looks like this problems has been solved quite a few times. Here are some options:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_Phonetic_Alphabet

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SaypYu

https://navlipi.org/

https://omniglot.com/conscripts/phonetic.htm (tons of options here)

The great thing about standards is that there are so many to choose from!
