Guidelines for the creation of language content
For the identification of languages please follow RFC 4646. Best practice would be to select a value from the three letter language tags of ISO 639 (e.g. http://www.sil.org/iso639-3/codes.asp).
| title | A great deliverance | |
| language | ISO 639-3 | eng |
or
| title | A great deliverance | |
| language | ||
| RFC 4646 | eng |
If the content is in more than one language, the property should be repeated.
| title | Charlie Wilson's War | |
| language | ISO 639-3 | eng |
| language | ISO 639-3 | hun |
| language | ISO 639-3 | tur |
But if every language version has it's own identifier, they have to be treated like single resources.
