Hi,
A question for the respected language code
experts in the audience.
Apparently, the Simple English Wikipedia uses
"en" as its language code in the HTML lang attribute, etc.
I never noticed it until recently, when it
started causing various bugs with the ContentTranslation
extension of which I am a developer. I somehow assumed that it
uses something like "en-simple" without ever checking it, and
that assumption was wrong - it's just "en".
I believe that the code should be different from
what is used by the English Wikipedia, like it is with other
wikis in language variants, such as be-tarask.
Do you have any suggestions about what code should it be?
en-simple?
en-x-simple?
Something else?
Should I register anything new with any standards
organization? (If I recall correctly, this was done for
be-tarask?)
Can I reuse any existing code that would be
appropriate?
Is it a bad idea in general and it should be just
"en"?
Thanks!
