Material Libraries: I need non-American Material Designations (ISO and more materiels)

I'm just playing around with simulation to see If I could use this for real work (I know it is still beta). Of course, material libraries are required, but the one built is limited and it has strange american material names only, so this is of no use for me (Europe). Now, I know I can create my own, but why should every user in the world do all the typing again, when computers and the internet have long been invented?
My question: Is there an ISO-compatible material library already existing, which I could use or build mine upon, or is Onshape planning on creating a more comprehensive and suitable library for use outside the US? For example ISO Steel types would be great.

Ano také bych uvítal knihovnu ISO
In der Zwischenzeit habe ich mir die mitgelieferte Bilbliothek übersetzt und ein paar hierzulande übliche Materialien hinzugefügt. Trotzdem wäre eine einheitliche Bibliothek sinnvoll, bei der dann z.B. die Norm und Sprache per Projekt auswählbar sein könnte, ohne das zugewiesene Material eines Teils zu wechseln.
Mezitím jsem přeložil přiloženou knihovnu a přidal pár materiálů, které jsou u nás běžné. Přesto by byla užitečná jednotná knihovna, ve které by pak bylo možné například vybrat normu a jazyk pro každý projekt, aniž by se změnil materiál dílu.
In the meantime, I have translated the included library and added a few materials that are common in this country. Nevertheless, a unifversal library would be useful, in which, for example, the standard and language could then be selected per project without changing the material assigned to a part.
