English term or phrase: Switzerland (CH)
In this case is there an equivalent in Hindi and, if so, is it to be written as च॰ह॰ or सी॰एच॰ ?

Is it the source/local language to be given priority or the target language?

http://hi.wikipedia.org/wiki/आइएसओ_३१६६_-_१ shows the country name in Devanagari but the abbreviation is in Roman script

The Russian version of the ISO website leaves the abbreviation in Roman script and does not use the Cryllic script for the webpage or the country names

Can this be left out from the translation?
I am not very sure if the fields that I have selected are correct, moderator is requested to change the same if deemed necessary

Explanation:
Officially the Swiss Confederation (Latin: Confoederatio Helvetica, hence its abbreviation CH), is a federal republic consisting of 26 cantons, with Bern as the seat of the federal authorities. The country is situated in western Europe,[note 4] where it is bordered by Germany to the north, France to the west, Italy to the south, and Austria and Liechtenstein to the east.

हिंदी में लोग इसे स्विट्जरलैंड के रूप में ही जानते समझते हैं। CH इस नाम के लैटिन रूप का संक्षेपाक्षर है।

इसलिए मुझे लगता है कि इसे केवल स्विट्जरलैंड लिखना पर्याप्त होगा।

यदि CH लिखना ही हो, तो उसे हिंदी में ही लिखा जाएगा - स्विट्जरलैंड (सीएच), जैसे यूएस (US नहीं), यूके (UK नहीं), इत्यादि।

हिंदी में अंग्रेजी के संक्षेपाक्षर हिंदी लिपि में ही लिखे जाते हैं।
