  @Lydia_Pintscher I'm reopening this because it //could// get the code in 
another way, it just doesn't.
  
  It currently uses P218  which is 
//only// two-letter codes. However, MediaWiki uses IETF language tags (with a 
few exceptions that people are trying to fix), which are a mixture of 
two-letter codes (ISO 639-1), three-letter codes (ISO 639-3) and two/three 
letter codes followed by variant subtags (e.g. country, script). The two-letter 
codes are barely a third of our list, so it fails to match the majority of them.
  
  The data is there though - we have a property for ISO 639-3 codes (P220 
) and for IETF language tags (P305 
).
  
  Also, in my experience, the way it currently behaves is extremely confusing 
for users and has led to multiple people thinking we don't support a language 
when we actually do (as long as you select the language twice), so I would 
really like to see this fixed.

  Yes we do need the ISO code so this is the intended behaviour for the 
languages where we can't get a code in another way.
