What is the standard (ISO 639-1, IETF BCP 47, another) used in get_language?

[Fabio C. Barrionuevo da Luz]

Hello. What is the standard (ISO 639-1, ISO 639-2, IETF BCP47, another) used by django in get_language and to_locale functions?

I could not find in the documentation or on the source code, that explain exact what the standard is used

https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.10/topics/i18n/

the closest I came to discover the standard used was:

https://github.com/django/django/blob/master/django/utils/translation/trans_real.py#L35-L36

I found this topic, but as it's been more than 10 years, I'm not sure if anything has changed:

https://groups.google.com/d/msg/django-developers/aiIty0s5eLg/HC1HtqT_3w0J

https://www.w3.org/TR/html5/dom.html#the-lang-and-xml:lang-attributes


all this is because I'm trying to solve this problem: https://github.com/yourlabs/django-autocomplete-light/pull/746

select2 js uses a another standard (who have not figured out what is) to define name the language js files.

I'm trying to figure out a way to make a table of equivalence from django language_code vs select2 language files

AFAIK Django receives the language tags from the browsers as IETF language tags, and then convert them in locale names suitable for gettext.

Hope this helps,
