 : I think there are many other languages not in this table. I think that these are those for which we have modules in the CrossWire repositories. I don't know if we want much more than that. I can see having localizations for SWORD modules that are in other repositories, for GoBible modules and for interesting texts that we would like to have but for whatever reason don't currently have (e.g. requested modules). Perhaps Chris will elaborate by putting an introduction on the page? --[[User:Dmsmith|Dmsmith]] 14:51, 22 December 2009 (UTC)

	: The names of Old/Middle English and descriptions of various African and American languages need to be weeded out or corrected. I think these were just missed by the diff process because they're slightly modified. In some cases, there's definitely been an attempt to nativize the names, but I've found one so far that is actually slightly offensive in its language. In other words, I think I need to hand-check everything.		: The names of Old/Middle English and descriptions of various African and American languages need to be weeded out or corrected.

	: Regarding the two (now three) forms of ug, this is a case where a language is commonly written in one of various scripts. Depending on the ethnic group or location of a speaker, one or another script might be dominant. Some speakers may know more than one orthography. We should probably re-tag these as ug-Latn, ug-Arab, and ug-Cyrl. --[[User:Osk\|Osk]] 21:16, 13 November 2009 (UTC)		: Regarding the two (now three) forms of ug, this is a case where a language is commonly written in one of various scripts.
