Missing language codes[edit]

At least hy seems to be missing. Template should be checked if it includes Special:PrefixIndex/MediaWiki:Lang (or better, all languages supported by mediawiki). Multichill (talk) 22:04, 3 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I added a couple for now. I'll do a full language review & update for these templates (as well as elsewhere). We shouldn't use MediaWiki codes as a basis for what to include because: a) lang codes are sometimes added (and then removed) to MediaWiki without any actual use (0 projects/0 interface support) b) they use invalid conflicting codes instead of trying to use only ISO ones like do for translations c) we use alternate codes depending on what the translators prefer (e.g. be-tarask instead of be-x-old) d) we use many codes not supported by MediaWiki (interface wise). If you meant all the codes {{#language:}} understands, I think that would be a bit too much (but even that doesn't have every code we use; I started {{Language2}} for some of these). I maintain a full list of these plus any additional languages I see in the wild used on Wikimedia with this template. Rocket000 (talk) 01:43, 4 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Formatting language names[edit]

Hi there, I see that the template formats the language names in a different way from what does {{#language:lang_code}}. For example, it generates "Français" while {{#language:fr}} would generate "français". I've looked at the source code of the template but couldn't be bold enough to try to fix this, thus my comment here :)

Any ideas? (pro/cons/howto...) Best regards, AlNo (discuter/talk/hablar/falar) 15:40, 12 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Well finally I did it... -- AlNo (discuter/talk/hablar/falar) 09:08, 13 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Why don't the language names have consistent capitalization? What can be done to correct that?   — Jeff G. please ping or talk to me 19:39, 5 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
@Jeff G.: Change half of the human languages in the world. 🙂 This is simply a language convention: in English language names are always capitalized, but en français this is not the case. —Tacsipacsi (talk) 21:01, 5 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
@Tacsipacsi: Sorry, I guess I was being aglocentric.   — Jeff G. please ping or talk to me 00:50, 6 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Sorting by language code is wrong[edit]

When I use this template, for some reason it is sorted by script rather than alphabetically by language code, why is this? And how can I fix this? I think that it would obviously be more useful to sort by language code. --TKsdik8900 (talk) 05:04, 12 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Why on earth subst:lle can automatically remove Japanese and Portuguese links now?[edit]

See my diffs: Special:Diff/670602412, Special:Diff/670604724 and Special:Diff/670604744, this panorama is really beyond my control. Liuxinyu970226 (talk) 07:56, 2 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Note: some recent trials told me that /zh-* and every RTL (Arabic, Hebrew, Persian, Yiddish, ...) languages' translations are now having this issue. Liuxinyu970226 (talk) 06:25, 8 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
still broken like @Liuxinyu970226 described --Sebastian Wallroth (talk) 14:33, 1 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Multichill maybe you can have a look at it? Tank you in advance. --Sebastian Wallroth (talk) 14:37, 1 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
