They are heavily involved with Unicode standards development and the l10n/i18n community. Google has started to increase their presence in that arena too. I do really like how on Yahoo Maps the choice changes from "Vernacular" to the specific language if that is the only one displayed. Not surprised that Yahoo is taking the lead in this.

These disputed areas would require the end-user to select a button, A = Greek or B = Turkish and then their map would be populated with the appropriate placenames. How's about that for a possible solution? On the issue of Cyprus, and any similar dual-named areas, why not give the end-user the options A or B.
