change language choices for literals to ISO 639-2 #1230

Closed bushmanb closed 4 years ago

bushmanb commented 5 years ago

Describe the bug I am using the sinopia user feedback template in Windows/Firefox and I don't understand where the language choices are coming from and what appears to be a random order. Not all the languages in the MARC list of languages appear to be there. For example, when I enter Turkish I would expect to see Turkish as well as Ottoman Turkish, but I don't.

Can you attach a screenshot @bushmanb?

bushmanb commented 5 years ago

Sorry, but I cannot provide a screenshot because 1)I cannot locate the Sinopia User Feedback Template in stage; 2)sinopia:resourceTemplate:bf2:Language2 template is not working (I get an error "Unable to find http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/languages in the lookup configuration" 3) I tried to use sinopia:RT:demo:Monograph:Work template, but when I tried to add a language I also got an error "There was a problem retrieving lc:RT:bf2:Language2: Error: Request has been terminated Possible causes: the network is offline, Origin is not allowed by Access-Control-Allow-Origin, the page is being unloaded, etc."

sorry @bushmanb we cleaned up stage and the test template is not there anymore

@justinlittman this issue refers to the Language button we have next to all literals

can we find out where this list is coming from to answer Barbara's question about a missing language

justinlittman commented 5 years ago

They're from ISO 639.

michelleif commented 5 years ago

@bushmanb we seem to be using ISO 639-1 not ISO 639-2 which is why you don't see Ottoman Turkish. Would ISO 639-2 be a better list?

bushmanb commented 5 years ago

I think ISO 639-2 would be better since that is based on the MARC code list. According to the MARC documentation ISO 639-2 is maintained by LC and inline with the MARC language codes.

justinlittman commented 5 years ago

If we are going to switch, we need to make sure we understand the implications for resources created with ISO 639-1 language codes.

zenodotus commented 4 years ago

There's an argument to be made for ISO 639-3, a more complete list of human languages.

Based on discussion at Sinopia meeting on 11/13, recommendation for short-term is to use ISO-639-2 (3 letter codes). Need to consider how existing 2 letter codes will be handled or when importing data with 2 letter codes (or other unrecognized code).

In long-term, need to have broader discussion about this.

zenodotus commented 4 years ago

Thanks for letting me know. I look forward to the longer-term discussion. There is a method for inputting ISO 639-3 into the 041 MARC field that has been used in certain contexts; it does not get fed into the fixed fields but may still be a subject of conversion.
