Description jeblad 2013-03-07 02:11:29 UTC
Set up a Babel-box with "no" as one of the entries, then try to accsess the language "norsk bokmål" on the page for P236 (http://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Property:P236?uselang=en). When you click on the link in "In other languages" this will fail to change the language as the "no" languahe is a meta language for both (nn - nynorsk and nb - bokmål) written forms of Norwegian. We now only supports the codes "nb" and "nn". Because Norwegian (bokmål) Wikipedia uses no.wikipedia.org the erroneous use of "no" in the Babel-box will be quite common.

More generally language aliases should be resolved in various places of the code, as this kind of bug is very annoying for the user.
