Please create a table with language codes, languge, etc...

Former Member over 10 years ago

If I look in devices.xml the list of supported languages is..

hrv

ces

chs

cht

dan

dut

eng

fin

fre

deu

gre

hun

ita

jpa

nob

pol

por

rus

slo

slv

spa

swe

Some of them seem obvious, while others I am having trouble placing. Take cht for example, it does not appear as a valid code in either ISO 639-2 or ISO 3166-1 alpha-3.

Could you please provide a table with relevant details to help include language support. Maybe something like...

Language  : Country : Code

============================

English   : n/a     : eng

French    : France  : fre

French    : Canada  : fre_CAN

Wow, are you really planning on supporting all those languages? I'm only supporting eng, fre, deu, spa, dut, ita, and finding that already quite a challenge.

Former Member over 10 years ago

No, not that ambitious just yet. Since I can't match some of them I thought it best to ask, for future reference.

I believe the three odd ones are:

jpa - Japanese
cht - Chinese (Traditional)
chs - Chinese (Simplified)

Let me know if there are any other ones that are confusing.

The language codes should comply with ISO 639-2 (see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_639-2). The code for Japanese should be 'jpn' rather than 'jpa', so we'll get that corrected. Chinese is an exception. the ISO standard specifies 'zho' for Chinese and doesn't distinguish between traditional and simplified Chinese. For this reason, we've broken from the standard and used 'cht' and 'chs' (though maybe we could be slightly closer to compliance by using 'zht' and 'zhs').

I'll report this to get the code for Japanese corrected and review the codes for Chinese.

Without going through the entire list, I will provide another example.

Take hrv. Croatian right. But say I want to publish my Pozdrav svima app. In the dropdown list of languages I see no option for Craotia. I don't know much about Multilingualism, so perhaps it's just because I'm uneducated, but to me it seems pretty hard to match it all up. I figure that since Garmin have created their system, it would be easier to publish it in a clear table, rather than make individuals have to reverse engineer it.

I see it just below Hungarian in the sumulator's dropdown list, but otherwise I agree.

Yes, it is in the simulator dropdown list. I should have specified I was referring to the dropdown list on the Edit App Details page of CIQ. I now realize is Hrvatski.

We've fixed the codes for Japanese (jpn), simplified Chinese (zhs), and traditional Chinese (zht). These will be available in the next release.
