How to request modification of a language name or icon
Language name
Name in English
When choosing the name of a language in Enlgish, we will usually follow the name that is used in the ISO 639-3 specification.
In case you believe we should use another name, please contact us and provide the following information:
- The name of the language as it currently is.
- The name of the language as you think it should be.
- References (to articles, linguistic papers, books...) to prove that the new name is more appropriate.
Name in other languages
If you are viewing the Tatoeba website in another language than English, then the language name may have been wrongly translated.
To fix the translation, you can join the Tatoeba project on Transifex. Please see the article about interface translation.
Language icon
It can happen that we do not choose the most appropriate icon to represent a language. If that is the case for your language, you can contact us and provide the following information:
- The name of the language.
- Explanation of why is the icon not appropriate.
- Optionally, make a suggestion of what image we can use for the new icon. Please read our policies for language icons.
