List of All Locales and Their Short Codes?

I'm looking for a list of all locales and their short codes for a PHP application I am writing. Is there much variation in this data between platforms?

Also, if I am developing an international application, can I just support one version of English or are there significant differences in English across the world?

There's significant formatting differences, esp. for date & time, in the English varients. Also many differences in spelling and occasionally terminology, esp. between GB & US. – Elanaeland 7/7, 2010 at 4:41

Having a whole list is of no use. You can use only those locales that are installed on the system. Find out what locales are installed. Use locale -a command on Linux. – Reckon 15/4, 2012 at 10:49

The two principle variants of en to use are en_US and en_GB, with the main differences being that the latter generally uses ise instead of the former's ize, and the original French spellings of words like metre, instead of meter, and do not use phonetic contractions, by using sulphur instead of sulphur. en_GB will usually cover the spelling conventions used in former colonies that haven't been culturally dominated by the US, like en_AU and en_NZ. See tysto.com/uk-us-spelling-list.html. – Viper 27/1, 2017 at 15:29

Unless really required to cater for local preferences, because your particular audience tends to actively resist 'foreign' spellings, or you are catering to the world, and your users know it, using en_US as a sole en locale will not ruffle too many feathers. – Viper 27/1, 2017 at 15:36

Does this answer your question? Is there a way to get the list of available locales in PHP? – Grafting 6/8, 2020 at 3:48

Rather then country-specific English, consider en-001 (World) and en-150 (Europe). The difference between them is that the latter uses European number formats (, instead of . as the decimal separator). Hopefully, browser makers will internationalise their English dictionaries to accept all the spelling variants. For the moment, using en-001 requires a lot of dictionary additions to allow GB|AU|NZ+ spellings. – Viper 15/6, 2023 at 3:9

The importance of locales is that your environment/os can provide formatting functionality for all installed locales even if you don't know about them when you write your application. My Windows 7 system has 211 locales installed (listed below), so you wouldn't likely write any custom code or translation specific to this many locales.

Edit: The original list of locales has been edited to add additional locales that were not included before. Now 228 listed.

The most important thing for various versions of English is in formatting numbers and dates. Other differences are significant to the extent that you want and able to cater to specific variations.

These are best handled by using MessageFormatter::formatMessage, or its one-off, msgfmt_format_message, as in msgfmt_format_message('ar-ye', '{0,date,medium}', array('2017-01-27)), which will produce ٢٧‏/٠١‏/٢٠١٧. For times, where using values stored as UTC, it is probably better to use the IntlDateFormatter class, as you can put in a timezone to show the local time in the language. – Viper 27/1, 2017 at 16:12

@Mentalist, thank you for pointing out the omission!! I'll gladly edit and add it but can you provide an official link to confirm the full code, tlh-AQ? I was able to validate tlh but didnt' see anything referencing the AQ part. I only looked briefly. – Scull 10/12, 2021 at 18:11

I linked a reference to AQ in my comment. But I don't know how useful it would be to include every possible combination. I was just pointing out that there are many obscure lang+region combinations that can be created, beyond the pairings we typically see. – Dzerzhinsk 13/12, 2021 at 2:48

@Dzerzhinsk oic. Yes, any language+region combination could be created, but only those that actually have different regional dialects make sense? ja-JP vs ja-US would not make sense since US does not have a regional Japanese variant. For Klingon I'm only aware of one region, Qo'noS (QS)? I updated the list above. That said, there are a lot of very obscure and constructed languages not included in the above list. – Scull 14/12, 2021 at 16:34

Reference for QS to Qo'nos. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_3166-1_alpha-2#QS – Scull 14/12, 2021 at 16:43

The accepted answer misses some rather significant locales. For example, the Chinese locales don't distinguish between the different scriptures (simplified han, traditional han). What's a main-land Chinese citizen who wants traditional han supposed to use - the Hong Kong setting?

I've taken this list of iOS locales, removed the strange POSIX entry, formatted it as Javascript and sorted it by value (so if you use an ordered object implementation and create a list by going through the keys and returning the value, it will show the human readable text in correct order). Also, this list both contains a main entry per language as well as all the region specific variants - this way you always have a designated fallback option, say if your interface has only defined the 'en' option - you wouldn't otherwise know on what to fall back on reliably.

POSIX is a locale, exactly equivalent to "C" on POSIX systems and Linux. – Chiropractic 5/12, 2016 at 17:23

I just found it doesn't make any sense if you expose this list to users. – Misti 6/12, 2016 at 1:46

Hong Kong actually has variations for both zh-hans-hk and zh-hant-hk. The PHP intl set of objects will tolerate specifying locales as lower-case and dashes, as well as accepting the lang_COUNTRY styles. – Viper 27/1, 2017 at 16:27

If serious about internationalisation in PHP, only use the intl classes for all your efforts, including timezones and locales, as they are built on the CLDR database, and updated with each PHP version. The other PHP functions may be built on isolated datasets that don't have the synchronisation effort that has gone into the comprehensive CLDR dataset, so some of those other functions might give some discrepancies from the CLDR ones, especially as international efforts standardise more on CLDR. You may have to use some of those other functions as a fall-back if catering for pre 5.6. – Viper 27/1, 2017 at 16:42

An incentive to use PHP v7, with all the latest intl classes, is that it will serve your pages in half the time. – Viper 27/1, 2017 at 16:44

To complete @Viper comment, see https://mcmap.net/q/37352/-is-there-a-way-to-get-the-list-of-available-locales-in-php on how to get a complete, up-to-date, list of languages from php-intl. – Grafting 6/8, 2020 at 3:44

From http://www.w3.org/International/articles/language-tags/

"Language tag syntax is defined by the IETF's BCP 47. BCP stands for 'Best Current Practice', and is a persistent name for a series of RFCs whose numbers change as they are updated. The latest RFC describing language tag syntax is RFC 5646, Tags for the Identification of Languages, and it obsoletes the older RFCs 4646, 3066 and 1766.

You used to find subtags by consulting the lists of codes in various ISO standards, but now you can find all subtags in the IANA Language Subtag Registry."

AFAIK most locale-aware applications (that are written by professionals) abide by this standard. It isn't just something somebody threw together and that different people interpret differently.

I'd strongly suggest you investigate the internationalization features of your particular development language, as you'll probably end up reinventing the wheel if you don't.

This answer should be marked as accepted due to recommended by standards as current best practice . – Directly 29/1, 2019 at 14:3

While accepted answer is pretty complete (I used myself in similar question that arised to me), I think it is worth to put the whole supported language codes and variations, as well as encodings, and point user to a file which is present in almost any linux distributions, in case he simply wants a quicker answer and no internet for example.

Unless one has a specific requirements for a different encoding, restricting to only the UTF-8 encodings is going to simplify the PHP code used, because it is the default encoding for everything post 5.3. – Viper 27/1, 2017 at 16:50

I agree with you, i always use UTF-8 for everything, as that saves pain, but there are cases in which you have external data sources, and you need to specify a different encoding (if manually convert them via iconv is more work than just changing the encoding) – Winglet 28/4, 2017 at 17:6

ru_RU actually also has windows-1251 encoding beside KOI8-R and ISO-8859-5 (yeah, that's pain but UTF-8 is the way to go anyway) – Supposing 10/9, 2019 at 18:51

If you are using php-intl to localize your application, you probably want to use ResourceBundle::getLocales() instead of static list that you maintain yourself. It can also give you locales for particular language.

<?php
print_r(ResourceBundle::getLocales(''));

/* Output might show
  * Array
  * (
  *    [0] => af
  *    [1] => af_NA
  *    [2] => af_ZA
  *    [3] => am
  *    [4] => am_ET
  *    [5] => ar
  *    [6] => ar_AE
  *    [7] => ar_BH
  *    [8] => ar_DZ
  *    [9] => ar_EG
  *    [10] => ar_IQ
  *  ...
  */

+1 because, although it depends on system settings, the method on this answer allows you to programmatically get a list of locales without having to copy and maintain your own list. – Siobhan 25/5, 2018 at 11:7

This does answer the question on how to get locales, but if one wants to instead get a list of languages, then this will no work. The list will be incomplete. See https://mcmap.net/q/37352/-is-there-a-way-to-get-the-list-of-available-locales-in-php for a list of languages. – Grafting 6/8, 2020 at 3:34

Finally, a programmer's answer. Since I use php-intl for localization I want to allow user to choose between locales supported by php-intl, there is no sense to show all locales in the world – Thousandfold 21/7, 2023 at 6:31

Gosling answered 14/6, 2018 at 8:27 Comment(4)

This is only (slightly less than) half of the problem. You also need geographical specifiers and (optionally) character encodings. For example, en_IE behaves differently from en_US in a number of aspects (currency, measurements, spelling, etc). – Gauffer 14/2, 2020 at 9:39

Why not link to the locale list by the same author: github.com/umpirsky/locale-list – Istria 9/7, 2020 at 22:6

Instead of relying on hardcoded data that are maintained by very few collaborators, you'd probably be better off relying on php-intl extension that is ultimately based on Unicode CLDR Project. For more details, see https://mcmap.net/q/37352/-is-there-a-way-to-get-the-list-of-available-locales-in-php – Grafting 6/8, 2020 at 3:40

but anyways, great work with that repo! Kudos! – Sunfish 9/6, 2021 at 11:23

Here's a pretty exhaustive list of Culture Codes. As far as I can tell, they don't vary between programming languages since it's an RFC standard. As for English, I think if you support either the generic en or possibly the en-US then you should be just fine.

Danger answered 7/7, 2010 at 3:36 Comment(6)

' generic en or possibly the en-US then you should be just fine' No no no! – Elanaeland 7/7, 2010 at 4:37

@Pete, are you saying he should use all English locals? If he want's to support just one, what would you support? – Danger 7/7, 2010 at 4:47

and yes, dates will differ between different locales, but if you were to choose just one... – Danger 7/7, 2010 at 4:48

If he's developing an international site, ideally yes, all the English locales. Is 08.07.10 the 8th of July or the 7th of August? At minimum en-US and en-GB. Which singular variant to use would be detrmined by the site's visitors, though just 1 means it's not a fully international site. (And if really just one, then en-GB would be more correct in terms of origin and number of countries :-P ) – Elanaeland 7/7, 2010 at 5:5

en_GB prefers time formatted in a 24 hour clock, en_US prefers it 12 hour with AM/PM indications. de_DE uses first two letters to abbreviate days of week, but de_AU uses first three letters. It is very important to not just pick one or two within a language, but support them all. – Rebound 1/10, 2015 at 2:22

@AliceWonder. Really depends upon the target audience, because unless you target a local audience, who tend to actively resisting 'foreign' spellings, most visitors will tolerate content aimed at a world-wide audience being en-US. Just a fact of life. Just look at how most online newspaper sites around the world use US-style quotes, even when targeting local audiences, just because of the cultural swamping by US-sourced material has overridden whatever may have been in a country's official style guide. Audiences have moved on, despite what many of us may use for our personal preferences. – Viper 27/1, 2017 at 16:23

I spend a whole day organizing this information for my company since we are building a multi-lingual platform. If you find any issue, missing language, or incorrect charset please edit the list so it will be more useful in the future. Here is the complete list of all the language locales, names, and charsets.

For PHP array here is the link https://github.com/jerryurenaa/language-list/blob/main/language-list-array.php

for JSON here is the link https://github.com/jerryurenaa/language-list/blob/main/language-list-json.json

Just realized this was for PHP. It might still be helpful for the html people to have a simple list. – Sugarplum 17/6, 2021 at 15:38

A program that lists information about language codes, local names, currency ISO codes, and currency symbols, if any. This is for the local data included in your version of PHP.

// get array of Locales codes included in PHP
$ARR_LANGS_PHP = ResourceBundle::getLocales('');

// prepa. an array for rendering
$LANGS = array();

foreach ($ARR_LANGS_PHP as $k => $v) {


        // currency ISO code if exist
        $currency_iso = NumberFormatter::create(
            $v,NumberFormatter::CURRENCY)
                ->getTextAttribute(NumberFormatter::CURRENCY_CODE);

        // if no currency ISO code -> 'XXX' is returned,  $currency_iso => ''
        $currency_iso = ( $currency_iso == 'XXX') ? '' : $currency_iso;

        // currency symbol if exist
        $currency_symbol = new NumberFormatter( $v, NumberFormatter::DECIMAL );
        $symbol = $currency_symbol->getSymbol(NumberFormatter::CURRENCY_SYMBOL);

        // if no symbol -> '¤' is returned,  $symbol => ''
        $symbol = ( $symbol == '¤' ) ? '' : $symbol;

        // return name of locale with details ex. Arabic (Tunisia)
        $descr_locale = Locale::getDisplayName($v, 'en');

        // add datas to lang array
        $LANGS[] = array(

                'code_min' => strtolower(substr($v, 0, 2)),
                // code -> ex. 'fr_FR'
                'code' => $v,
                // locale string in english for all
                'locale' => $descr_locale,
                // currency_iso -> ex. 'EUR'
                'currency_iso' => $currency_iso,
                // ex. €
                'symbol' => $symbol
        );
}

// var_dump( count($LANGS) ); // 732 langs
echo '<pre>';
print_r( $LANGS );
echo '</pre>';
exit;

?>


// output :
Array
(
    [0] => Array
        (
            [code_min] => af
            [code] => af
            [locale] => Afrikaans
            [currency_iso] => 
            [symbol] => 
        )

    [1] => Array
        (
            [code_min] => af
            [code] => af_NA
            [locale] => Afrikaans (Namibia)
            [currency_iso] => NAD
            [symbol] => $
        )

    [2] => Array
        (
            [code_min] => af
            [code] => af_ZA
            [locale] => Afrikaans (South Africa)
            [currency_iso] => ZAR
            [symbol] => R
        )
// ...
