 ===Find code===
-The [[English Wikipedia]] has articles on the {{Wp|ISO 639}} language codes.  To find the specific code for a language, see the {{Wp|List of ISO 639-1 codes#Partial ISO 639 table|list of ISO 639-1 codes}}; and in the table of languages, look at the column saying '''639-1'''.  If the language you seek is not there, see [[Wikipedia: List of ISO 639-2 codes]], and look at the '''Alpha-3''' column.  If it still is not there, look at {{Wp|List of ISO 639-3 codes|the ISO 639-3 codes list}}, and click a letter.  Finally, if it is not there yet, write the name of the required languages in English.  You may also ask someone.
