Hi @Aveeva ,
Good to know that it is working fine.
I have added only following three lines on code.
$countryName = ucwords(strtolower($countryId));
$countries = Mage::app()->getLocale()->getCountryTranslationList();;
$countryId = array_search($countryName, $countries);
line 1: I have converted country name to lovercase and then first word uppercase.
For example:
uNited STates will converted into "United States". Becuase line two contanis the array on country code and country name in form of Camel Case.
Line 3 : We have search country name in array and get country id.
