Hi Nemo,
I need the relation between ISO 639-3 and WP-shortcuts
I still have no idea what you mean by WP-shortcuts
I'm not a programmer nor a language specialist. Sorry for my Swiss school English...
I have found this: https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spezial:Liste_der_Wikimedia-Wikis?uselang=en Contains 400 languages - but WP says that WP has 293 languages, see: https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Sprachen
From there from column "Language" I extracted two columns
- language name local in local writing system - language name English :-)
In the first list there are eight columns with Wiki-language-abreviations (2, 3, 6, 7 and 8 characters). But ISO 639-3 should have exact 3 characters?
I don't have a full ISO 639-3 list, and I don't like to try a matching between a such list and the WP-language-abreviations by hand ;-)
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Language_code has all the pointers you need and
Here I read that ISO 639-3 is required: https://translatewiki.net/wiki/Translatewiki.net_languages#Policy_on_enablin... but I can't find a such list.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_ISO_639-1_codes has most of the equivalencies between ISO 639-1 and ISO 639-3.
Here I count 185 languages. And I have no idea how to merge this with the other tables with 293 or 400 languages...
I hope that there is somewhere in the Wikimedia-space a table of all used 293 WP-languages with: - ISO 639-3 - language name local in local writing system - language name English
I hope my needs are more clear now?
Bests, Markus
