ਮੌਡਿਊਲ:Lang/data/iana languages/make
This is a crude tool that reads a local copy of an IANA language-subtag-registry file and extracts the information necessary to create the data tables held by:
- Module:Lang/data/iana languages
- Module:Lang/data/iana scripts
- Module:Lang/data/iana regions
- Module:Lang/data/iana variants
- Module:Lang/data/iana suppressed scripts
- Module:Lang/data/ISO 639-1 – not an IANA file per se, but used by Module:ISO 639 name; included here so that -1 is not neglected when the other files are updated
The tool skips records that contain the words: 'Deprecated', 'Preferred-Value', and 'Private use'.
At this writing, the tool extracts only the subtag code and description(s) from language, script, region, and variant records.
Usage
[ਸੋਧੋ]To use this tool:
- Open a blank sandbox page and paste the following at the top:
{{#invoke:Language/data/iana languages/make|iana_extract}}
- Go to the current language-subtag-registry file (or any of the files held by archive.org). Copy the whole (or just as much as you need) and paste it into the sandbox page below the
{{#invoke:}}. - Click Show preview
- Wait
- Copy result
There is some crude error checking that will insert an error message in the output. No guarantees that such messaging will be helpful. Search for the word 'error' in the tool's output.

We get a record that looks more-or-less like this:
%%\n
Type: variant\n
Subtag: bohoric\n
Description: Slovene in Bohorič alphabet\n
Added: 2012-06-27\n
Prefix: sl\n
Each line is terminated with a \n character.
Type, for this function can only be 'variant'
Subtag is the code of Type
Prefix is a language code to which this variant applies; one language code per Prefix line. There can be
more than one prefix line.
Description associates Subtag with a proper name or names; one name per Description line. There can be more
than one Description line and Description lines can wrap to the next line. When they do, the first two
characters of the continuation line are spaces.
Comments: lines can also be continued so once in a Comments line (which is otherwise ignored) all further
continuations in the record are also ignored. This is a crude mechanism to prevent comment continuations
from being concatenated onto the end of descriptions and relies on Description line occuring in the record
before the Comments line.
Records with private use subtags are ignored.
