There are many more languages than there are locales. Some language tags are made up of the same parts as locales (language code + country code) but others are not. > The following table lists all the possible W3.org language codes (which is > system dependent, this is the MS IE5 list) used to specify various system > settings: > http://msdn.microsoft.com/workshop/author/dhtml/reference/language_codes.asp I don't see what the W3C has to do with this list; it is purely Microsoft. The RFC on language tagging, which has just been revised to handle many more languages, is RFC 3066, available at http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc3066.txt. The associated registry (which does not list codes based on ISO 639, only ones registered directly by IANA) is at http://www.isi.edu/in-notes/iana/assignments/language-tags. -- There is / one art || John Cowan <jcowan@reutershealth.com> no more / no less || http://www.reutershealth.com to do / all things || http://www.ccil.org/~cowan with art- / lessness \\ -- Piet Hein
