Description

Looking through languagelookup.json I found some inconsistencies to langauges:

  • "name":"Panjabi, Punjabi", should be "name":"Panjabi; Punjabi"
    These can be fixed manually (change , to ; )

  • Some languages have two different internal representation codes:

     "st":{   "name":"Southern Sotho", "native_name":"Sesotho"  },
     "sot":{ "name":"Southern Sotho", "native_name":"Sesotho"  },
    

Might be a good idea to remove duplicates --- check if exist in CCServer before removing.

Research direction

Start by reviewing languagelookup.json, correcting the Panjabi/Punjabi separator and cataloguing entries with duplicate internal language codes such as st and sot. Check whether each duplicate exists in CCServer before removing anything; done means the inconsistency is corrected and only unsupported duplicates are removed.
