Usage
The {{ISO 639 name}}
template is used to resolve ISO 639-1, ISO 639-2, ISO 639-3 and ISO 639-5 codes to language names. It will trim extraneous IETF language tags to just the ISO 639 code. E.g.:
Sanskrit in Latin script, which IETF language tag is sa-Latn
, renders as:
{{ISO 639 name|sa-Latn}}
→ Sanskrit error: sa-Latn is an IETF tag (help)
The error message can be suppressed with |hide-err=yes
:
{{ISO 639 name|sa-Latn|hide-err=yes}}
→ Sanskrit
The rendered language name can be linked to the appropriate language article with |link=yes
:
{{ISO 639 name|sa-Latn|hide-err=yes|link=yes}}
→ Sanskrit
When linking, an alternate link label can be provided with |label=<label text>
:
{{ISO 639 name|sa-Latn|hide-err=yes|link=yes|label=sa-Latn}}
→ sa-Latn
The {{ISO 639 name link}}
template is the same as Template:Tnull except that it presets |link=yes
.
Both of these templates can be safely substituted.

The module that does the work for this template has other functionality not supported by this template. See Module:ISO 639 name. Error messages related to that other functionality are:
