Not yet.  Wait what people say in reply.

I personally am not a fan of using 8 different names in one name tag 
(though some countries that have multiple equal languages do favour that 
nationally).   The example here "Baltijas jūra / Baltijos jūra / Itämeri 
/ Läänemeri / Morze Bałtyckie / Östersjön / Østersøen / Ostsee / 
Балтийское море" seems a bit clumsy.

Is there an international language used within shipping worldwide?  
Perhaps that would be a better option than this.

Best Regards,

Andy
