Hi! I notice that in the alternateNames.txt file the field isolanguage is often empty. In those cases, what should I assume the isolanguage field to mean? For instance:

291257    476462        Vas’kova               

What is the language code of this entry?
Thanks.

Luca

Hi Luca

An empty field means it is not specified and you cannot assume anything.

Regards

Marc
