What is the set of supported languages and their language codes

I can’t find this information in the documentation.

I need to support Tagalog and Chinese Traditional, but when I include 'tl' for Tagalog in PARLER_LANGUAGES, I get

ImproperlyConfigured("{0}[{1}][{2}]['code'] does not exist in LANGUAGES".format(var_name, site_id, i))

After quite a bit of digging around, I discovered that 'zh-hans' is the code for Chinese Simplified (this ought to be simple to discover), but I still don’t know what to use for Chinese Traditional.

Hi @vdboor, thanks for the update!

this is my LANGUAGES in settings.py

LANGUAGES = (
    ('en', _("English")),
    ('nb', _('Norwegian')),
    ('ar', _('Arabic')),
    ('pl', _('Polish')),
    ('se', _('Northern Sami')),
)

and PARLER_LANGUAGES looks like this:

PARLER_LANGUAGES = {
    None: (
        {'code': 'en', },
        {'code': 'nb', },
        {'code': 'ar', },
        {'code': 'pl', },
        {'code': 'se', },
    ),
    'default': {
        'fallbacks': ['nb'],          # defaults to PARLER_DEFAULT_LANGUAGE_CODE
        'hide_untranslated': False,   # the default; let .active_translations() return fallbacks too.
    }
}

After debugging I found that this is the Exception Django raises in our project when it doesn’t find the translation files (when clicking on the tab in django-admin) which is picked up by django-parler here

As previously mentioned I can add translations on a model with the se language without any problems and I can also get the values from the api, what I don’t understand is it seems like the language must be supported in Django in order to view/edit the fields in django-admin when the content of the fields are the only parts that has changed (at least in our project)

I am also running into the same problem when I try to use languages that django doesn’t have translation files for.

If I add the language in LANGUAGES in settings I am able to save all of the translated fields of a model using switch_language from a management command.

I am also able to get the translated value from a DRF endpoint without problem.

But if I click on a tab of a language that django doesn’t have translation files for in django-admin I get:

ValueError: Translatable forms can't be initialized for the language 'se', that option does not exist in the 'LANGUAGES' setting.

And because of that I can’t edit the translations (or add new ones) in django-admin after I’ve originally imported them.
