幫手：單語文本語言

可用喺單語文本嘅Wikimedia語言代碼列表係固定嘅。 佢只可以畀開發團隊去改。

特殊語言代碼

In addition to language codes describing actual languages, there are four special language codes available:

• und: For content whose language is not yet determined (undetermined)
• mis: For content whose language is known, but has no language code (uncoded languages). We also use it for content whose language has a language code that is not yet available on Wikidata.org.
• mul: For content in multiple languages (multiple languages), meaning either content that is the same in more than one language, or content that contains more than one language, so a reader would need to know all of them to understand it.
• zxx: For content that is not linguistic (no linguistic content, not applicable)

See the #Lists below for current uses.

當冇語言代碼嗰陣

It might happen that you need a language code that is not yet supported. In that case, follow these steps:

• Use mis as language code in the statement, reference or qualifier where you need the unsupported language code
• If possible, add a qualifier language of work or name (P407) with the item for the language; create an item for the language, if none already exists
• If possible, add a reference for the correct language to the statement
• Request the language code if it fulfills the requirements for a new language code (see below)

加語言代碼

The preferred way to request a language code to be added for monolingual text values is by opening a new ticket in Phabricator. Add the following information:

• The language code (examples: lkt, sr-cyrl)
• Language name in the language itself or English (examples: Lakota, Serbian in Cyrillic)
• The used script, if not obvious (example: Cyrillic)
• Where and when the language was or is used (example: In use by the Lakota people in North America)
• The Wikidata item id (example: Q33537)

Make sure you link to the item where you want to use the language code (see previous section). If you didn't already add a reference to the statement, add it to the Phabricator ticket.

If you don't want to or can't use Phabricator, add your request to Wikidata:Report a technical problem.

新語言代碼嘅要求

Note: This is work in progress and not finished policy

A new language code probably has to fulfill the following requirements:

• It has to be valid IETF language tag. If no tag is available, an attempt to register the tag can be made.
• It has to be required for an actual use-case on Wikidata (other than native label (P1705) on item for the language itself)

A language code does not have to fulfill the requirements of the language proposal policy for new Wikis. Specifically:

• The language doesn't need an active community or amount of usage
• The language code doesn't need to denote a unique language (For example, we have nn and nb, but also no, which is a macrolanguage covering both)

In general, if you need a language code to correctly model real-world data, it should be accepted as long as it's a valid language code.

Using inside SPARQL queries

BIND (LANG(?label) AS ?language)

SELECT * WHERE {
  ?s ?label "The Rolling Stones"@en .
  ?s ?p ?o
}

Try it!

?spouse rdfs:label ?spouse_label .
FILTER (LANG(?spouse_label) = "en").

Adding with Quickstatements

• Monolingual text prefix text in "double quotes" with the language and a colon, e.g. en:"Some text"

  Example: Q1214098 TAB P1476 TAB pl:"Krzyżacy"

  Meaning: add to The Knights of the Cross (Q1214098)title (P1476)"Krzyżacy" (Polish)
