During the Wikiconvention francophone 2019, it has been proposed not to limit the place of learning to only one. For some users, it may be relevant to set several places of learning for a given language.

It has also been proposed to add another paramter that would be "parent language" and maybe their own places of learning.

@Pamputt By "parent language", do you mean the native language / mother tongue ?

As far as I remember, yes it means "mother tongue", maybe @Opsylac remembers this discussion during the Wikiconvention.

@Pamputt We currently collect two kind of data : where the speaker lives currently and, for each language, where he/she learned it.

With my understanding of the initial issue exposed in the description, if we change the bot in a way that it adds the place where the language was learned (which is already collected) instead of the place of residence, will it solve the problem?
If we do so, we could maybe completely remove the place of residence field? Or is it usefull for something else?

We should keep in mind that we have choosen to make those personal data optional (for privacy concerns), and if we want contributors to add them, it should be in my opinion as simple as possible.

This is why I believe an accent code would be useful. Where a person lives or learned a language is not the same as the accent. Accent is more related to how a person learned to speak. We can keep where the speaker lives currently and, for each language, where the speaker learned it, but we also need an accent option.

While we need the RW to force users to indicate a place of learning for the future, we also need to search for users who don't have any place of learning for the language(s) they speak, before being able to use the place of learning instead of the place of residence with Lingua Libre. Maybe by adapting this query.

I have opened a pull request on Github to select and display the place of learning when it exists instead of the place of residence. I let @Poslovitch review it and merge it if ok.
