And from what I can tell the utils read from `Names.php` which is a list of language codes and their names. That list currently does not contain `sr-latn` but rather `sr-el` (see https://github.com/wikimedia/mediawiki/blob/master/languages/data/Names.php#L422). There are some mapping mechanisms which turn `sr-el` into `sr-latn` but that is of no use to us since we send `sr-latn` to the language util. > > The only fix I could find (see the above gerrit change) is to add `sr-latn` to this `Names.php` list. I'm not sure that's the right place to solve the problem so I'll wait for a review from some WMF language people. That sounds like it will add `sr-latn` //alongside// `sr-el`, i.e. without migrating the `sr-el` data to `sr-latn`, without preventing people from using `sr-el` instead of `sr-latn` and without `sr-el` in a user's Babel box causing the `sr-el` data to be shown in the termbox. If so, the problem would still exist - we would still have/allow data stored using a language code which users can't add to the termbox.
