Hi all,

We would like to use the dataset returned by the i18n.getLanguages() method to present to the users a list of available languages. However, the result from that method does not include some of the languages which we are interested in (for example, Thai)

My question is: what controls which language codes are returned by this Servoy system method and is there a “recommended” way to expand that list with standard codes apart form manually adding values to it.

Thanks in advance for your help!

Are you sure you don’t have it? One of the languages I get is: “row\_40[th, ไทย]”

Code:

```auto
application.output(i18n.getLanguages());

```
