Description
Input fields for countries show matching countries as you type. But this seems to compare the input the the internal names, not the localized names that are shown.
We are using the German locale. When I enter "D" in a country field, it offers "Dänemark" but not "Deutschland". Supposedly, this is because "Denmark" starts with a "D" but "Germany" doesn't. Consequently, if I type "G", it does offer "Deutschland". Same applies for "Vereinigte Staaten" vs "United States", etc.
This is very confusing and may lead to input errors.
The same problem applies to the "state" field, and perhaps other input fields with "find as you type" feature.
