And are there acceptable short enough versions of the language names in the languages themselves e.g. I would reckon Eng would be recognised for English as itself rather than the iso code. Iso code could be a last resort if there isn't an agreeable short version in the language itself. Uk defintely would be a bad idea for Ukranian, I would hope укр makes at least some sense Regards, Daniel
