On Sun, Jun 29, 2014 at 3:01 PM, Daniel Kinzler <daniel.kinzler(a)wikimedia.de What about constructed or invented languages? A list will work for most cases but there always will be edge cases and adding them to the list will be too much. *"Ph'nglui mglw'nafh Cthulhu R'lyeh wgah'nagl fhtagn."* Cheers, Micru

For instance in "Template:Infobox fictional country" there is a field for fictional mottos, like the one for Syldavia, the fictional country that appears in The Adventures of Tintin: Syldavia (Q1751922) <motto> "Eih bennek, eih blavek." <language> Syldavian (Q2708019) On Sun, Jun 29, 2014 at 6:33 PM, Lydia Pintscher < lydia.pintscher(a)wikimedia.de&gt; wrote: -- Etiamsi omnes, ego non

If we are able to use any ISO-639-3 that should do. It worried me hearing "there will be no 'custom' language", when there are language codes like "mis", "mul", "und", "zxx" that mean more or less "custom".

Hoi, You are wrong, Thanks, GerardM On 29 June 2014 15:01, Daniel Kinzler &lt;daniel.kinzler(a)wikimedia.de&gt; wrote:

Hoi, Making languages available for projects is something that is done according to the Wikimedia language policy. In it there is no say at all for the community. The reason being that this proved to be very political and consequently very disruptive. Thanks, GerardM 2014-06-29 15:44 GMT+02:00 Lydia Pintscher &lt;lydia.pintscher(a)wikimedia.de&gt;de>:

Hoi, The interface is localised from English at translatewiki.net. Localisation has always been done as part of the requirements for a new project. The ability to localise happens after the language committee indicates that a language is "eligible". There are all kinds of complications with the use of only ISO-639-3 codes. This has proven to be problematic in the past. As a consequence the policy has it that certainly for a living language eligibility is almost guaranteed. The policy has it that the committee is allowed to think and decide. So no, it is not up the community and for as long as the language committee exists it has not been. When people use whatever string of characters to identify a file on Commons.. they can.. who cares it is just an identifier. When people add a label in Wikidata it has to be in the language specified. Thanks, GerardM On 30 June 2014 09:26, Daniel Kinzler &lt;daniel.kinzler(a)wikimedia.de&gt; wrote:
