goog.locale: TypeError: Cannot read property 'COUNTRY' of undefined

Question

I am using `goog.locale.getlocalizedcountryname' function in my code to get localized full country names from country codes eg 'en-US'.

goog.locale.getLocalizedCountryName('en-US')  // Actual implementation contains variablename.

gives TypeError: Cannot read property 'COUNTRY' of undefined.

Also

goog.locale.getResource('LocaleNameConstants', goog.locale.getLocale())

gives undefined (went on debugging to find this)

What am I missing?

This method depends on goog.locale.LocaleNameConstants__ available from http://go/js_locale_data. User of this method has to add dependency to this.

We're deprecating the goog.locale package in favor of the goog.i18n functions, which don't require the mysterious locale data referenced in the comments (it's just a directory filled with translated strings, which is now obsolete).
