What is ISO 639-3 and why do we need to translate it?

ISO 639-3 is a code that aims to define three-letter identifiers for all known human languages. Current ISO 639-3 defines about 7600 known languages.

A simple math about language names, 7600 × 7600 = 57760000, which means there are over 57 millions "language names". There is one cold hard fact that we do not have full translations to most of major languages about ISO 639-3 language names.

Digitize ISO 639-3 Translation Project aims to provide software utilities to collect, translate, organize and publish all language names in all languages. The goal is to provide the general public diversified file formats to describe all language names and apply in different applications. The mission is simple, we do what we can to utilize public resources to complete the 57,760,000 language names translation as many as possible.
