Category:ISO 639 name from code templates

The pages listed in this category are templates. This page is part of Wikipedia's administration and not part of the encyclopedia. Further template category notes This category contains pages in the template namespace. It should not be used to categorize articles or pages in other namespaces. To add a template to this category: If the template has a separate documentation page (usually called "Template:template name/doc"), add  [[Category:ISO 639 name from code templates]] to the <includeonly> section at the bottom of that page. Otherwise, add  <noinclude>[[Category:ISO 639 name from code templates]]</noinclude> to the end of the template code, making sure it starts on the same line as the code's last character.

This category consist of templates which return the ISO 639 name of a language based primarily on the ISO 639-1, ISO 639-2 or ISO 639-3 codes for the language. They are used in template {{Lang}} (which in turn is used by many other templates) to categorise articles which contain text in non-English languages.

• ISO 639-1 Example: {{ISO 639 name fr}} -> French
• ISO 639-2 Example: {{ISO 639 name fra}} -> French
• ISO 639-3 Example: {{ISO 639 name fre}} -> French

Other "codes" can be used at the discretion of the maintainers of the templates: For example zh-t for traditional Chinese, or allowing full names to translate to themselves (e.g. French -> French)
