Ideas

  • The languages taxonomy only accepts two letter language code. Support of more languages requires the introduction of three letter language codes (Cantonese), country variants (Brazilian Portuguese) or scripts support.

Remark

In some taxonomies you might see the language code XX and ZZ. These have a special meaning for parsing and are not related to a specific language.
