Module:Codenat/doc

This module is rated as ready for general use. It has reached a mature form and is thought to be bug-free and ready for use wherever appropriate. To reduce server load and bad output, it should be improved by sandbox testing rather than repeated trial-and-error editing.

The module gets a 3-byte ISO language code and returns the corresponding full English name of the nation.

The data, more than 200 code → nation items, is taken from Template:{{Olympic teams}}.

Invocation example: {{#invoke:Codenat|codnat|GER}} will return "Germany".

When necessary, the table can easily be expanded that it serves not only the ISO 639-2/B codes but also the ISO 639-2/T, e.g.

• COD and also DRC
• CZE and also CES
• GER and also DEU
• GRE and also ELL
• NED and also NLD

Flag icon templates will need an article for all plural forms, as e.g.

• British Virgin Islands,
• Cayman Islands,
• Faroe Islands,
• Marshall Islands,
• Netherlands,
• Philippines,
• United Arab Emirates,
• United States of America,
• United States Virgin Islands,
• Federated States of Micronesia.

But it can be used also for nation names as e.g.

• Czech Republic,
• Democratic Republic of the Congo,
• Dominican Republic,
• People's Republic of China,
• Republic of Ireland,
• Republic of the Congo>
• State of Palestine.

and it is not the same in all languages!
