Do we need a plan?

I noticed someone overzealous had changed the name in Icelandic to a 
translation of Northern Macedonia, however that is not the name of the country 
in Icelandic except for possibly now in official usage. We always referred to 
it as Macedonia before and FYROM equivalent only in very specific 
circumstances. We will continue to do so - also according to the Icelandic 
State Department current lists it is still Makedónía.

A name given to a country by others doesn't always reflect the locals 
preferences, indeed the Czechs deciding between Czechia and Czech Republic 
doesn't affect us as we will refer to them always as Tékkland.

This renaming will be done on a language by language basis I believe, and 
possibly the only things that need to be updated are official_name:lang tags, 
not the name:lang tags.
