Module:Lang
This module exists primarily to provide correct html markup for non-English language text where that text is used in the English Wikipedia. It has a secondary purpose of providing correct visual rendering for this non-English text. The module consolidates processing for {{lang}} and the many {{lang-??}} templates into a single source and uses a clearly defined data set extracted from international standards.
The data set is specified in Module:Language/name/data and its included data modules:
- language code-and-name data
- Module:Language/data/iana languages – from IANA language-subtag-registry file
- Module:Language/data/ISO 639-3 – from sil.org UTF-8 Complete Code Tables Set
- Module:Language/data/wp languages – sourcing for the data in this module is unknown
- language script data
- Module:Language/data/iana scripts – from IANA language-subtag-registry file
- language region data
- Module:Language/data/iana regions – from IANA language-subtag-registry file
- language variant data
- Module:Language/data/iana variants – from IANA language-subtag-registry file
- suppressed-script data
- Module:Language/data/iana suppressed scripts – from IANA language-subtag-registry file
The data set also includes supplementary data modules:
- override and other non-standard data
- Module:Lang/data – For example, when IANA disagrees with ISO 639-3 or when the standard language name is cumbersome or contains information not suitable for use in article space, the
overridetable can hold that language information - Module:Lang/ISO 639 synonyms – maps three character ISO 639-2, -2T, -3 codes to two character ISO 639-1 codes – from Codes for the Representation of Names of Languages
The module does not require the myriad {{ISO 639 name ??}} templates, {{Language with name}}, {{Language with name and transliteration}}, and {{transl}}. It provides error checking and reporting to ensure that the html rendered is correct for browsers and screen readers.
Articles that have errors are placed in:
- பகுப்பு:lang and lang-xx template errors (mainspace only)

This function attempts to invert the italic markup a args.text by adding/removing leading/trailing italic markup
in args.text. Like |italic=unset, |italic=invert disables automatic italic markup. Individual leading/trailing
apostrophes are converted to their html numeric entity equivalent so that the new italic markup doesn't become
bold markup inadvertently.
Leading and trailing wiki markup is extracted from args.text into separate table elements. Addition, removal,
replacement of wiki markup is handled by a string.gsub() replacement table operating only on these separate elements.
In the string.gsub() matching pattern, '.*' matches empty string as well as the three expected wiki markup patterns.
This function expects that markup in args.text is complete and correct; if it is not, oddness may result.

validates |italic= or |italics= assigned values.
When |italic= is set and has an acceptible assigned value, return the matching css font-style property value or,
for the special case 'default', return nil.
When |italic= is not set, or has an unacceptible assigned value, return nil and a nil error message.
When both |italic= and |italics= are set, returns nil and a 'conflicting' error message.
The return value nil causes the calling lang, lang_xx, or transl function to set args.italic according to the template's
defined default ('inherit' for {{lang}}, 'inherit' or 'italic' for {{lang-xx}} depending on
the individual template's requirements, 'italic' for {{transl}}) or to the value appropriate to |script=, if set ({{lang}}
and {{lang-xx}} only).
Accepted values and the values that this function returns are are:
nil - when |italic= absent or not set; returns nil
default - for completeness, should rarely if ever be used; returns nil
yes - force args.text to be rendered in italic font; returns 'italic'
no - force args.text to be rendered in normal font; returns 'normal'
unset - disables font control so that font-style applied to text is dictated by markup inside or outside the template; returns 'inherit'
invert - disables font control so that font-style applied to text is dictated by markup outside or inverted inside the template; returns 'invert'

Default behavior of the {{lang}} and {{lang-xx}} templates is to add categorization when the templates are used in mainspace.
This default functionality may be suppressed by setting |nocat=yes or |cat=no. This function selects one of these two parameters
to control categorization.
Because having two parameters with 'opposite' names and 'opposite' values is confusing, this function accepts only affirmative
values for |nocat= and only negative values for |cat=; in both cases the 'other' sense (and non-sense) is not accepted and the
parameter is treated as if it were not set in the template.
Sets args.nocat to true if categorization is to be turned off; to nil if the default behavior should apply.
Accepted values for |nocat= are the text strings:
'yes', 'y', 'true', 't', on, '1' -- [[Module:Yesno]] returns logical true for all of these; false or nil else
for |cat=
'no', 'n', 'false', 'f', 'off', '0' -- [[Module:Yesno]] returns logical false for all of these; true or nil else

extracts and returns IETF language tag parts:
primary language subtag (required) - 2 or 3 character IANA language code
script subtag - four character IANA script code
region subtag - two-letter or three digit IANA region code
variant subtag - four digit or 5-8 alnum variant code
private subtag - x- followed by 1-8 alnum private code; only supported with the primary language tag
in any one of these forms
lang lang-variant
lang-script lang-script-variant
lang-region lang-region-variant
lang-script-region lang-script-region-variant
lang-x-private
each of lang, script, region, variant, and private, when used, must be valid
Languages with both two- and three-character code synonyms are promoted to the two-character synonym because
the IANA registry file omits the synonymous three-character code; we cannot depend on browsers understanding
the synonymous three-character codes in the lang= attribute.
For {{lang-xx}} templates, the parameters |script=, |region=, and |variant= are supported (not supported in {{lang}}
because those parameters are superfluous to the IETF subtags in |code=)
returns six values; all lower case. Valid parts are returned as themselves; omitted parts are returned as empty strings, invalid
parts are returned as nil; the sixth returned item is an error message (if an error detected) or nil.

For the {{lang-xx}} templates, the only parameter required to be set in the template is the language code. All
other parameters can, usually should, be written in the template call. For {{lang-xx}} templates for languages
that can have multiple writing systems, it may be appropriate to set |script= as well.
For each {{lang-xx}} template choose the appropriate entry-point function so that this function knows the default
styling that should be applied to text.

For italic style:

Supported parameters are:

|script = IANA script code; especially for use with languages that use multiple writing systems
|region = IANA region code
|variant = IANA variant code
|text = (required) the displayed text in language specified by code
|link = boolean false ('no') does not link code-spcified language name to associated language article
|rtl = boolean true ('yes') identifies the language specified by code as a right-to-left language
|nocat = boolean true ('yes') inhibits normal categorization; error categories are not affected
|cat = boolian false ('no') opposite form of |nocat=
|italic = boolean true ('yes') renders displayed text in italic font; boolean false ('no') renders displayed text in normal font; not set renders according to initial_style_state

|label = 'none' to suppress all labeling (language name, 'translit.', 'lit.')

Returns language name associated with IETF language tag if valid; empty string else.
All code combinations supported by {{lang}} and the {{lang-xx}} templates are supported by this function.
Set invoke's |link= parameter to yes to get wikilinked version of the language name.

Returns the ietf language tag associated with the language name. Spelling of language name must be correct
according to the spelling in the source tables. When a standard language name has a parenthetical disambiguator,
that disambiguator must be omitted (they are not present in the data name-to-tag tables).
