Jfyi, for SMEV I have implemented this "algorithm":
- mdui:DisplayName in the chosen/detected/whatever language if exists,
otherwise:
- mdui:DisplayName in English if exists, otherwise:
- mdui:DisplayName in the 1st other language.
If all that fails you might still want to fall back to
md:OrganizationDisplayName (based on the same algo).
But then this will mainly be a tool for us, so no need to go all
overboard with MC. :)
