Bug#1111028: ITP: python-language-data -- Supplementary data about languages used by the langcodes module

[Alastair McKinstry <alastair.mckinstry@mckinstry.ie>]

Hi

Note that iso-codes also maintains an NxN set of translations of 
language names to each language, for 2 and 3-letter code languages.


Regards

Alastair

Commander Vimes didn’t like the phrase “The innocent have nothing to fear,”
 believing the innocent had everything to fear, mostly from the guilty but in the longer term
 even more from those who say things like “The innocent have nothing to fear.”
