You should certainly get in contact with the local community before 
doing any sort of mass import of names in a language you don't 
understand. For example last time your Vietnamese names had not been 
that satisfactory.

How about providing an easy to proof-read extract for the local 
communities before doing the actual import?

And maybe also double-checking that the admin boundaries of 3166-2 
you're going to use are accurate.
