Change Details

Currently information about languages is scattered in many places (https://meta.wikimirror.org/wiki/Talk:Abstract_Wikipedia/Representation_of_languages) and CLDR extension only makes it worse (cf {T190129}). Also this extension provides no user-facing features by itself. Proposed: * We create a PHP library directly derived from CLDR data * Local overrides and names of languages not in CLDR may either moved to MediaWiki core, language-data or the new library created above If above results in one new library, it is essentially a #Librarization of CLDR extension.
