It looks like the community having the expertise to answer such question
is the GIS (Geography Information Systems) community, more than the
Unicode community. Have you tried asking a question on
http://gis.stackexchange.com/ ?

Hi,
I'm looking for (lightweight) libraries to translate city names,
potentially country as well (but I know that's available in CLDR/ICU
in some ways). Ideally it wouldn't need a database but rely on static
assets.
I'm wondering if there is any standard that defines a universal city
id (similar to country codes).
Wikipedia has lots of information on exonyms in different languages.
I also found thing like http://www.geonames.org/ that seems to have a
complete dataset with translations in many language but the relevant
data would need to be extracted.
Right now we use a old version of Maxmind library to get geolocated
data that has no translation. Looks like new version have some
translation but not enough language supported
Any recommandation?
Best,
Jean
