===Main Features===
*Where on the site use 'Macrolanguage' in the language list?:
**'''Find Friends''' page: we must be able to search according to 'individual' or 'macrolanguage', but in the search box, results must show 'macrolanguage' first in BOLD (with number of 'individual' inside the macrolanguage), then 'invididual'. it must be clear that individual belong to macro. Example for 'Arabic', there are 40 lines!
**'''Corrections, profile, translations''' pages: only individual language
**'''Lessons, <span style=" color: red">videos, questions, quizzes</span>''' : macrolanguage AND individual
*Type: all (easiest to keep them all)
*For "language you can TEACH" and "Language you want to LEARN", there will be an explanation for users about that if they couldn't find the result, they can search alternative names in Wikipedia, find the ISO 639-3 and type it. If they still can't find it on that, they can choose "Special" ISO 639-3 code "mis" and type the name. There are four "special" codes in that file, for example, Pinghua Chinese. The definition of usage is here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_639-3#Special_codes There can be a list for missed languages which has been known, and can be choosen only from them. There can be also a function to "suggest a language".
*When creating wiki lessons, users' "language you can TEACH" and "Language you want to LEARN" can be shown firstly: vincent: OK
*Create a special page to allow an administrator to edit the 'new_lib' and the 'new_lib2' fields. Only create a page in /wiki/Features : table with the following columns, 'iso', 'new_lib', 'new_lib2' and i'll use this table to update the main table. Only for the main 500 languages. <span style=" color: red">Vincent:</span> I started a new list with autonyms and alternative English names here: <span style=" color: red">https://polyglotclub.com/wiki/Features/Language-List-autonym</span>
*Icons of flags for languages will be removed. Forvo, Glosbe, HiNative, Wikipedia. Italki uses flags only to indicate location. Where there are only handful languages, flags are used. Tatoeba is an exception, it made up flags to ensure every language has one there. <span style=" color: red">Vincent:</span> In the first version, flags will still be there because there are too many changes to do. I will decide later if we need to remove them. Remember 99% of users will select the most common languages. Tatoeba has more than 300 languages, if we can have flags for the main 300 or 500, we will cover maybe 99,9% of users. See the table below, it is interesting. Almost no other website/app has the full language list, that's why I want to do it. But I am doing all that for the very minority, anyway, the majority is not always right...<span style=" color: red">GrimPixel:</span> Yes, it is seizing the initiative that matters. We will be the only stronghold for the minority.<span style=" color: red"> Vincent: true :) !</span>
