Features/Language-List

Columns description

• old: OLD LIST. language name in English. DO NOT CHANGE
• old_lib: OLD LIST. autonym. DO NOT CHANGE
• ISO_639-3: Why several codes per language? there can be only one code per language.
• new: NEW LIST. MAIN language name in English. Length of this field should be short. WARNING: NOT EDITABLE in the future GrimPixel: Even little changes for languages with few users? It means to slowly examine and change something in that file. Vincent: Changing 'new_lib', 'new_lib2', 'ISO' is easy but changing 'new' is possible but complicated
• update: 'break' or 'merge'
• rename: 1 for yes.

Custom changes in kejser.org file, Not identical with names on SIL website

I have to look into it more in details, but I think it's like the city table, it must be corrected from time to time. I have to take that into account so the update be as easy as possible
