Find code
The English Wikipedia has articles on the Template:W language codes. To find the specific code for a language, see the Template:W; 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 Template:W, 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.
