Wiki pages can not be translated into Standard Moroccan Tamazight.
Closed, InvalidPublic

Description

Hello,
The probleme
Steps to Reproduce:

Actual Results:
Wikimedia pages can not be translated into Standard Moroccan Tamazight language, as it can not be selected from the list of languages. When the cursor is positioned over, a small tooltip appears indicating that the language is "Undefined".

Expected cause:
The file that contains the list of ISO codes for supported languages is Outdated and does not include the ISO code for Standard Moroccan Tamazight language.
Check: tools.wmflabs.org
Outdated File: https://tools.wmflabs.org/robin/codelookup/iso-639-3_20120228.tab

The proposed solution:
Update the file by adding the Amazigh language ISO code or just replacing it with this updated one.
Updated File: http://www-01.sil.org/iso639-3/iso-639-3_20130123.tab

Additional Information About the Language:

Thanks.

Event Timeline

I'm going to guess that this is because the language is not on Names.php and thus mediawiki does not recognize it. @Raymond will surely have more information but mediawiki/core is at 11% now (refs) and IIRC, they start to be exported when the translations on core reaches, at least 14%.

The process and criteria for adding new languages to MediaWiki core is documented in https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Adding_and_removing_languages#Core_MediaWiki.

Like @MarcoAurelio said above, this will happen once the number of translations in translatewiki.net reach the export threshold. Until that happens, there is nothing to track in Phabricator so I'm closing this task.
