Why Chinese is cmn and not chi?

[d668]

According to standards Chinese should be chi but the library detects it as cmn

[wooorm]

Which standards? cmn is ISO 639-3.

http://www.w3schools.com/tags/ref_language_codes.asp

[d668]

and http://loc.gov/standards/iso639-2/ISO-639-2_utf-8.txt

[d668]

I need to match them with lang attribute codes

[wooorm]

That seems to be ISO 639-1, which doesn’t have all codes for languages supported by franc.

Also: w3schools is a terrible source.

I need to match them with lang attribute codes

Use ISO 639-3.

this is crazy it is 800KB minified https://github.com/wooorm/iso-639-3/releases. Where can I get a list of only those used in franc-most.js? Thanks

[wooorm]

If you’re worried about size, I don’t suggest using franc-most.

800kb is rather large, because it encompasses more information than you need (btw, GZip make it 75kB)

but ho can i get JSON to match the 2-letter code? Should I do it myself?

[wooorm]

Yup, that’s outside the scope of this project, but it would be useful if someone created a list of such mapping (see GH-30). Note however that many of the languages listed above do not have two-letter codes.
