Lucas_Werkmeister_WMDE added a comment.
I can imagine three possible interfaces (not counting name variations):
htmlCode = mw.language.bcp47( languageCode )
htmlCode = mw.language.new( languageCode ).bcp47
htmlCode = mw.language.new( languageCode ):bcp47()
That is, a “static” method on `mw.language`, a field on an `mw.language`
instance, or a method on an `mw.language` instance. Since `mw.language:getCode`
is also a method, I think I’m leaning towards the third interface.
There’s probably also some possible bikeshedding over whether we want to use
the term “BCP 47” (and if yes, on its own or with “code” or “tag”), or call it
an “HTML language code”, or something else.
(I’m also tempted to add a method like `mw.html:inLanguage()` to `mw.html`,
which would be a shortcut for setting the `lang` and `dir` attributes – in that
case, the `bcp47()` method name wouldn’t matter as much, because most users
wouldn’t use it directly.)
