Summary

Note
The `&EthnologueCode` store is deprecated and will be not be supported for
keyboards that target Keyman 19.0 or later. Keyboard Package
[metadata](/developer/current-version/reference/file-types/metadata#obj-language)
should be used instead, which is defined by the BCP 47 language code in
the [keyboard

Syntax
store(&Ethnologuecode) "code[ code2 [...]]"Parameters
code,code2...- The ISO 639-3 (formerly Ethnologue) codes for which the keyboard is designed.
Description
The optional &EthnologueCode store specifies the language the keyboard
is made for by use of an ISO 639-3 three-letter language code. This
information is intended for use by third-party applications, and is also
used by the compiler to generate metadata for KeymanWeb.
For a list of codes, or more information about Ethnologue, see www.ethnologue.com .
Multiple codes can be included by separating them with spaces. You should not include punctuation between codes. However, for legacy reasons, applications that process this store should ignore any punctuation found.
A proposed addition to this field is to add script or country identifiers as needed.
Examples
Example: Using ðnologuecode
store(ðnologuecode) "ice" c IcelandicPlatforms
