 | This Lua module is used on approximately ८२९,००० pages. To avoid major disruption and server load, any changes should be tested in the module's /sandbox or /testcases subpages. The tested changes can be added to this page in a single edit. Consider discussing changes on the talk page before implementing them. |
This module exists primarily to provide correct html markup for non-English language text where that text is used in the English Wikipedia. It has a secondary purpose of providing correct visual rendering for this non-English text. The module was developed to consolidate processing for {{lang}}, the {{lang-??}} (most), and {{transl}} templates into a single source and to use a clearly defined data set extracted from international standards.
The module does not require the myriad {{ISO 639 name ??}} templates, {{Language with name}}, {{Language with name and transliteration}}, and {{transl}}. It provides error checking and reporting to ensure that the html rendered is correct for browsers and screen readers.
Other templates that get language name support from this module are:
{{native name}}{{link language}}
Data set
[स्रोत सम्पादन]The data set is specified in Module:Language/name/data and its included data modules:
- language tag-and-name data
- Module:Language/data/iana languages – from IANA language-subtag-registry file
- Module:Language/data/ISO 639-3 – from sil.org UTF-8 Complete Code Tables Set
- Module:Language/data/wp languages – sourcing for the data in this module is unknown
- language script data
- Module:Language/data/iana scripts – from IANA language-subtag-registry file
- language region data
- Module:Language/data/iana regions – from IANA language-subtag-registry file
- language variant data
- Module:Language/data/iana variants – from IANA language-subtag-registry file
- suppressed-script data
- Module:Language/data/iana suppressed scripts – from IANA language-subtag-registry file
The data set also includes supplementary data modules:
- override and other non-standard data
- Module:Lang/data – For example, when IANA disagrees with ISO 639-3 or when the standard language name is cumbersome or contains information not suitable for use in article space, the
overridetable can hold that language information - Module:Lang/ISO 639 synonyms – maps three character ISO 639-2, -2T, -3 codes to two character ISO 639-1 codes – from Codes for the Representation of Names of Languages
- Module:Lang/name to tag – reversed language tag-and-name data so that the language name is the key and the language tag is the value
