Is there a table which lists the Name and DisplayName for assets?

If I've understood the Name of a material asses is the fixed international name of that material, and the DisplayName of the asset changes with the language used.

 

For example in my program I can see that an Inventor part has a Name of "Metal-022" and a DisplayName of "Copper - Satin".

 

Is there a table or method of getting all the Names and their corresponding DisplatNames in the various languages?

 

 

 

Hi,

 

What version of inventor?
