    Interesting use-case!

    My first approach would be to change the selected value via javascript.

    However, hardcoding a country list is always a bit tricky because there are different spellings, and even different opinions about what constitutes a country (Palestine just being the famous example, there a lot of islands that can be seen together or seperated). So it would be best to use the same country list as Maxmind (GeoNames). But I don’t know yet how you would extract these names from the mmdb-File – because then I could register a custom cf7-shorttag [geoip_detect_country your-country] or so.

    Let me think about this some more …

    Hi,

    so I now have a plan how to implement it: I will use the GeoNames API to generate a PHP file that contains the country&continent names in different languages. Then this can be used for the cf7-shorttag as well as enrich data sources that only return the ISO-Code, not the country name (hostip.info, Cloudflare, Amazon AWS).

    However I don’t think I will come to it very soon, maybe only in July. So if you need it earlier you will need to hire a dev who will do it and send a pull request to the github repository.

    Many Greetings,
    Benjamin
