Dear Mr. Hjalmarson,
I have forwarded your request to colleagues of ISO/TC 37, but I think that it should be properly dealt with by the Joint Advisory Committee of ISO 639 „Codes for the representation of names of languages“.
Could you please specify what you mean under
- “machine language”? (I assume not programming language)
- “multi-language”: in what sense? (several languages in one text, same representation for a semantic unit in several languages?)
- “undefined language”?
In any case there seem to be more needs for language symbols around than we could so far foresee…
Any “individualistic” solution without international coordination will sooner or later lead to incompatibility/interoperability problems.
Best regards
Christian

Hi,
Thanks for the information.
Is there any information that you can provide in guidance on what to use if we want to identify
- manchine language
- multi-language
- undefined language
What would be the recommendation for to identify the above "languages"?
If we are to assign "own codes" for to identify the above "languages" what are we to consider?
- what characters are not to be used
- how many characters
Best regards,
Mikael Hjalmarson
