Description Thijs Vermeir 2007-12-27 00:03:58 UTC 
matroskademux puts the language code from the matroska file in the tag. But the matroska files use ISO 639-2 and the language tag [1] must be in ISO 639-1.

Can't we use ISO 639-2 or ISO 639-3 in GStreamer ?

Comment 1 Tim-Philipp Müller 2007-12-27 05:01:12 UTC 
FWIW, in practice, either (-1 or -2) is fine and used for this tag (or even a language name string). Applications have to just deal with it currently.

    matroska: fix language code writing and extraction
    
    Matroska uses three-letter ISO 639-2B codes, but GST_TAG_LANGUAGE is
    supposed to contain two-letter ISO 639-1 codes, so use new language
    code mapping functions in -base to convert between those two as
    needed.
    
    Fixes #505823.
