This template, Lang2iso, takes a two-letter ISO 639 language code and converts it into an English-language language name (such as "Abkhazian" or "Sinhalese"). This table's values are based on List of ISO 639-1 codes. (Some additions to ISO 639-1 codes are identified below.) If the provided language name is not identified, then the default value of "undefined" is returned.

Examples:

  • {{Iso2lang|de}} returns "German"
  • {{Iso2lang |el}} returns "Greek"
  • {{Iso2lang |es}} returns "Spanish"

Purpose:

To transclude into templates
