Rate this lesson: 
The aim is to create a list of the main languages with autonyms and alternative language names. This table will be used to update the language list on the site, to make the search easier.
This is a combination of this file: https://polyglotclub.com/wiki/Features/Language-List-SAVED and the old polyglotclub language list.
Columns description
- iso: iso code
- name: name from the file
- auto: Autonyms, separated by a slash. WORD1 / WORD2 : space before and after the slash. Vincent: you are right because there can be comma in the name. This is important because each name will need to be extracted using the slash. There can be a large number of autonyms: only the first one or the one matching the request will be displayed. GrimPixel: In fact the first one may have no higher popularity than latte ones. And if it only shows one auto, it becomes meaningless to create many auto. I think there can be a textbox, which can follow the cursor. When the cursor moves to an item, the textbox shows all alter and auto. Vincent: it must show directely the matching auto, else show the first auto. if move cursor over the line, show all auto (but I am afraid this will make the diplay not user friendly, too many things happening when the user select/hover a language). Create many auto is necessary in case the user type one of the auto in the list. GrimPixel: There should be many autos. But if only one can be shown, users won't know that we have so many. It's hidding the attractiveness. Omniglot does it here https://www.omniglot.com/writing/languages.htm
Here are examples:
GrimPixel: It's very clear. I have noticed that it's better to have a <hr/> between Andalusian Arabic and Judeo-Yemeni Arabic. Vincent: Ok I'll add a break line at the end of the family members
GrimPixel: Why can't I see adds? Vincent: VIP don't have ads: https://polyglotclub.com/trust GrimPixel: Then why can you? :^)
- alter: Alternative English names, separated by a slash. WORD1 / WORD2 : space before and after the slash. There can be a large number of names: only the one matching the request will be displayed or nothing will be displayed.
- confirmed: have covered all major auto and alter and no uncertainty.
List
GrimPixel:If a language doesn't capitalize its first letter, is it necessary to capitalize it? Vincent: yes, we must try to be consistent: capital letters everywhere.
GrimPixel: When I found the names in Wikipedia, in many cases it doesn't tell which are autonyms, which are English names. I put them by instinct. For many minor languages, further checks are needed.
So, there is a new column "confirmed".
