Language selector does not find Farsi language only Persian
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

Wikipedia Language settings will return the same results if either of keywords 'Farsi' or 'Persian' is entered.

'Search [language] wikipedia' and the article language picker won't return any results if 'Farsi' is entered, only 'Persian' is recognized as an available lang.

There are some debates what - Farsi vs. Persian - should be used
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Persian_language

Should Mobile apps be consistent with wiki?

@Sedgie27: I am resetting the assignee of this task because there has not been progress lately (please correct me if I am wrong!). Resetting the assignee avoids the impression that somebody is already working on this task. It also allows others to potentially work towards fixing this task. Please claim this task again when you plan to work on it (via Add Action...Assign / Claim in the dropdown menu) - it would be welcome. Thanks for your understanding!

@ABorbaWMF We will push out a 6.8.2 release candidate build later this week. Since it's been a while since this ticket was tested, can you do a quick confirmation that this task still works when it's ready? Thanks!

Release candidate is Testflight build 6.8.2 (1867).

Appears to be working on 6.8.2 (1867) as well
