Standards/Values for the original_language field.
posted by AventrixSTAFFMOD on January 12, 2016 at 2:47 AM
I'm looking for some insight into the possible values for original_language. Is it a discrete set of values? Does it match an ISO standard?
I noticed the spoken_languages section uses iso_639_1...
Many thanks, David
P.S. Perhaps sometime in the future original_language should be a data object like spoken_languages for consistency purposes. Just a thought.

Hi aventrix,
Yes, they both use an
iso_639_1key.spoken_languagesis the one I would change to just use the iso code if I were to go back and do it again but I can't really change fields once they're live. Ideas for a v4 if it were to ever be written!Reply by Aventrix
