TASK DESCRIPTION
Currently, to add a spelling variant for lemmas and representations, we use a list of language codes. This list is stored separately from items, and is based on the list used by Wikimedia for the projects (Wikipedias, etc.). It is a different list from the one we use for monolingual text.
With the Lexeme, we already have people wanting to add more codes (frm, cu-cyrl, etc.) and we expect this demand to increase in the near future.
Current problems:
- People have to request for a language code individually
- We have to maintain the list by hand
Needs:
- Let people enter the language code that they think is appropriate for lemmas and representations
- Avoid mistakes and wrong choices
- Have a list that is easier to maintain
- The process to add new languages in the list should be quick and transparent
Possible solutions:
- instead of a separated list, take the list of item that have instance of/subclass of language
- merge the existing list with the monolingual text list
- ... your suggestion here
