Language & Country Codes

Language and country codes

Standardized codes for languages, countries, and regions are crucial for effective software localization. These codes enable the universal representation of all languages spoken today across various countries and regions by creating universally accepted identifiers for them. By ensuring a consistent and unambiguous method for representing language identifiers, these standardized codes significantly enhance the accuracy and efficiency of software localization, thereby improving the user experience as well.

Here are the most common language, script, and region codes used in software localization.

ISO 639-1 language codes

ISO 639-2 language codes

ISO 15924 script codes

ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 country codes

UN M49 area codes
