When you've done what Jimbo says, can you post an anouncement on Wikipedia-L? I want to post a big announcement about it on Interpret-L. This is going to be very cool...

The proper thing to do, it was decided, is to use the 'language codes'.
You
can find this in the discussion on wikipedia, or...

The two letter codes should be preferred, but the 3 letter codes should
probably
just magically work if someone happens to use one of them.

Toan and I added 9 new other-language wikis to the mix. So, now you are all welcome to use:

We are aware that the naming convention is wrong. Why use "Deutsche" instead of "German" in one place, and "Spanish" instead of "Espanol" in another? Simple. We just don't know the correct words or even the characters to use in many cases. So, tell us what it *should* be, and we'll make it so...
