Comment	> In the Native Language Support file Nls.php:280 [1] the language code > is trimmed to two characters. Probably under the assumption that > language codes are always ISO 639 and all character after that are > country subtags. But RFC 3282 [2} and RFC 3066 [3] clearly allow > three letter language codes from ISO 639-2 and some reserved codes. > > This excludes languages as important as Cebuano (ceb) with 30 million > speakers in the Philippines and even misinterprets Cebuano as Chechen > (ce). > > I came across this error when the accept-language mail header for Low > German (nds) was misreported as North Ndebele (nd). > > The correct fix is to allow all valid language codes. That should be > doable with CLDR. That will probably require some code refactoring. > If it is not possible to fix this easily, it would be nice if in the > meantime at least the languages wouldn't be misreported. If a code is > "unknown" it should be possible to create a dummy > Horde_Nls_Translation object and just have the language code as > output. > > [1] <https://github.com/horde/Nls/blob/master/lib/Horde/Nls.php#L280> > [2] <https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc3282> > [3] <https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc3066>
