language-code-russian-names

Description

I made this package for working with countries data by meldoze. They are using languages object keyed by ISO 639-3 three-letter codes and values with name of the language in English, like so:

"languages": {
            "fra": "French",
            "mlg": "Malagasy"
}

For my own needs i want to get language name(s) by code on Russian, returned as strings. Codes and names taken from Wikipedia.

Installation

npm install language-code-russian-names

or

yarn add language-code-russian-names

Notes

1. Language with code mol is Moldavian, but this code is retired by merge with Romanian language. So, if you using meldoze database and pass languages object of Moldova country ({"ron": "Moldavian"}) in langs.ruNames, you get string with two languages - Молдавский, Румынский (Moldavian, Romanian). For {"ron": "Romanian"} of Romania country you get just Румынский (Romanian). If you pass just a string ron you also get only Румынский.
2. langs.originalNames working properly only if you're using meldoze package or passing identical objects (see above). Doesn't work with strings.
3. Some russian names of rare languages taken from here, some from their pages on Wikipedia.
4. Folder test contains folder with json dataset of meldoze countries and licence file. If you want to run tests on more fresh dataset - download it from here and replace test/countries/countries.json with new.
5. When langs.alpha2 codes was multiple, i prefer ISO-639-2/B.
