Language Codes for Translation Services

Language Codes for Translation Services 

Language Codes for Translation Services 

Language codes are standardized abbreviations for languages. They are used in a variety of contexts, such as computing, linguistics, and library science. The most common language code standard is ISO 639, which maintains a list of two-letter (ISO 639-1) and three-letter (ISO 639-2 and ISO 639-3) codes for languages.

Language codes can be used for a variety of purposes, such as:

  • Specifying the language of a web page or document
  • Setting the language preferences of a computer or software application
  • Organizing library collections by language
  • Translating text from one language to another

Language codes are also used in many other ways, such as in international law and diplomacy, and in the aviation and maritime industries.

Codes for the Representation of Names of Languages

The codes are devised for use in terminology, lexicography, information, translation and documentation (i.e. for libraries, information services, and publishers) and linguistics.
Sorted alphabetically by language tag.
