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?

Wow I love this.

I was always a fan of asking foreign friends to teach me how to say their name and at least one word of not more in their language.

I never understood why we make up names for other countries and ultires when they use completely different words for it.

Why is it Germany when they say Deutschland???
