Language code standardization to RFC5646/BCP47 format
The TinyMCE 8.0.0 release introduces standardized support for language codes using the RFC5646 (also known as BCP47) format. This update applies to all language-related configurations, including:
-
UI language packs (premium and community)
-
Spellchecker language codes
-
HTML
langattributes -
Content language selection
Changes
-
Language codes now use hyphens (
-) instead of underscores (_). For example:-
'en-US'instead of'en_US' -
'zh-TW'instead of'zh_TW' -
'pt-BR'instead of'pt_BR'
-
-
Base language codes without regions (e.g.,
'en','es','fr') remain unchanged. -
File names for language packs have been updated to use hyphens.
-
Premium plugins have been updated to recognize RFC5646-compliant codes.
Backward Compatibility
To ensure a smooth migration
-
Both hyphenated and underscore formats are supported in TinyMCE 8.0.0.
-
A console warning is displayed when the legacy underscore format is used.
-
Both formats of language pack files are distributed with TinyMCE 8.0.0.
-
TinyMCE 9 will support only the RFC5646-compliant hyphenated format.
Migration
-
Update language-related configuration in
tinymce.init:language: 'en-US', spellchecker_language: 'en-US' -
Update
content_langsconfiguration:content_langs: [ { title: 'English (US)', code: 'en-US' }, { title: 'Portuguese (Brazil)', code: 'pt-BR' } ] -
Rename any custom dictionary files to use hyphens (e.g.,
'en-GB.txt'instead of'en_GB.txt'). -
Ensure any server-side integrations or custom language pack files follow the new naming convention.
This standardization aligns TinyMCE with modern web standards and improves consistency across its multilingual features.
