List of all locales and corresponding languages?

[web-programmer-here]

Is there any list of locales and the corresponding languages?
for example

af        Afrikaans
ar-DZ     Algerian Arabic
and so on

[fturmel]

Nothing official that I know of, but you're in luck. I already had a list at hand that was generated using the jdsocs fields of each locale.

It could be a good opportunity for the community to review these fields and bring any corrections or improvements. I am aware of at least three issues:

• fr-CH should be French locale (Switzerland), fix is part of fr, fr-CA and fr-CH locales TypeScript conversion #2626
• nl-BE should be something like Dutch/Fleming (Belgium) Dutch (Belgium)
• ar-SA should be Saudi Arabic, there is a typo in there

This is the data as of version 2.25.0:

[bartduisters]

Dutch (Belgium) is what it should refer to in my opinion. Flemish (not Fleming) is not a language nor a dialect.

[fturmel]

Thank you, I will fix it in the PR below. Any thoughts on CLDR listing nl_BE as Flemish in the English column?

https://unicode-org.github.io/cldr-staging/charts/40/summary/nl.html

[bartduisters]

Yes, my thoughts are that CLDR has it wrong as well.

I've put a comment on the commit that introduced the change: 20963fe

[fturmel]

For anyone interested in this topic, keep track of PR #2838. If merged, it will dynamically generate a page in the documentation that lists all available locales for each release.

[tan75]

Hi all,

brilliant idea!
We will discuss it this coming week in our release meeting.

[mamiabudat]

I went to the repo, and found the folders named according to the languages supported. Documentation could be better
https://github.com/date-fns/date-fns/tree/main/src/locale

[suranjanz]

in .net maui 2022 visualstudio its possible to get the locales using the TextToSpeech even if you dont plan to use it beyond this ability to
get all country names and codes..... then dispose it

Locale MyLocale;
string TextFeedBack="Country Names ";
var x = await TextToSpeech.GetLocalesAsync().ConfigureAwait(true); //otherwise it will continue before result and foreach fails

foreach (var locale in x)
{
LanguagePicker.Items.Add(locale.Name);
TextFeedBack += locale.Country + " ";
}
if (LanguagePicker.Items.Count > 0)
{
LanguagePicker.SelectedIndex = LanguagePicker.Items.Count; //last one is "EN UK"
.MyLocale = LanguagePicker.Items.Single (x => x.Name == LanguagePicker.SelectedItem.ToString());
}
