Have the ZMultilingualString component fetch the list of allowed languages from an API
Closed, ResolvedPublic
Actions

Description

Currently the ZMultilingualString component renders a selector with the list of language codes (and language name in the user's selected language) that comes from the backend in the extWikilambdaEditingData config variable.

We can isolate this front-end component a bit more if we allow it to fetch the dropdown data from an API.

As seen in the API Sandbox we can get all the language codes from /api.php?action=query&format=json&meta=languageinfo, but I haven't found how to get the language names as well, any ideas?

it could be done by adding name prop (default: only code) to the languageinfo meta query &liprop=code|name
