This template was generated by taking the list of Valve Developer Community's languages from its API, and cross referencing it with MediaWiki's more up to date API to match each language with a BCP-47 tag, then using IANA's assignments of region + language codes and ISO 15924's assignments of codes for writing systems to give it a name in English. Unfortunately, English is the only language that all of these standards are in, so they cannot also be automatically translated into other languages with this method. IANA's redundant assignments were used to categorize variants of Chinese, which were further categorized to "Mandarin" or left as "Traditional" by hand.
