A React Component Library for Languages

The source information will be from a JSON file langnames.json here. This is an array of objects, one per language.

Here is an example:

{
"pk": 7501,
"ang": "Zhuang, Zuojiang",
"lr": "Asia",
"gw": false,
"hc": "CN",
"ln": "\u5de6\u6c5f",
"lc": "zzj",
"ld": "ltr",
"alt": [
    "Ken Tho",
    "Longyin",
    "Longzhou",
    "Pho Thai",
    "Pu Tho",
    "Southern Zhuang",
    "Zhuangyu nanbu fangyan Zuojiang tuyu",
    "Nung Chao"
],
"cc": ["CN"]
}

The package essentially provide a custom React Hook which returns state and actions (a small set of functions to use for language data).

The code in the demos folder are examples of using the custom hook.

General Language Information

The Library of Congress has a list of language names with both two and three character codes (ISO 639-1 and 639-2, respectively). Link: https://www.loc.gov/standards/iso639-2/php/English_list.php

The site https://iso639-3.sil.org/ has a link to download a number of language tables in TSV format (easy to import into a spreadsheet).

Direct link to download the tables: https://iso639-3.sil.org/code_tables/download_tables

Of the ones available, this one combines common useful info: https://iso639-3.sil.org/sites/iso639-3/files/downloads/iso-639-3.tab

uw-languages-rcl's Issues

Cannot use uw-languages-rcl in door43-preview-app

Description

the door43-preview-app will crash when I try to use useLanguages from uw-languages-rcl. For the moment I have just copied useLanguages.js into the app to get it to work.

Suspect issue with missing dependency or web pack config problem?

About Link

The about link leads to a 404 error. It seems the url may have changed to https://unfoldingword.github.io/uw-languages-rcl/

Long Attribute values do not wrap

The Material UI table is not wrapping the values when they exceed width of cell.

Need to find the property that will fix this.
