To Do

• Add languages
  • Sources and process:
    • Translations of the term “free software” lists some codes and names of languages but in English.
    • Look up "Free software" on Wikipedia and mouse-over the links under "Languages" in the left panel to the topic on the various language instances of Wikipedia. The language is named in the language and the mouse-over gives the name of the language in English and the link (usually in the status bar foot of the browser) shows the code at the start of the URL.
    • Use various on-line dictionaries and translators as required to make sure of the correct language names (e.g. translate "French" from English to French).
    • Ask one or more native speaker(s) to confirm.
    • Check that relevant pages are in agreement (e.g. this page, and related templates (e.g. {{LibreInLang}}, ...).
    • discuss on-line on WikiEducator (and elsewhere).
    • When sure, add or change a language entry in this template (etc.) by editing the source.
• Double (multiple) check everything (help welcome :-)
