Usage
=====

The Python module can be installed from the PyPI:

.. code-block:: sh

    pip install weblate-language-data

It contains several modules containing language definitions and Gettext
translations for them (in a way that they would be discovered by Django when
used as an Django application).

CSV Files

The repository also contains CSV files which are used to generate the Python
code and can be used independently.

* Semicolon delimited files
* Contains language code, name, number of plurals and plural equation
