Re: SC 3.1.2 lang exception: proper names

Hello Wolfgang,
Are there any online resources for identifying how proper names are
pronounced? Content developers are bound to encounter names where they do
not know what language to use.
Years ago, I helped maintain a newspaper style guide that included some
pronunciation rules. I think this was done to help reporters be informed
when dealing with the public. We did not give this guide out.
