+=== Language codes ===
+
+Language codes in JOSM follow the method used by launchpad and many other open source translations. These are:
+* Two letter codes from ISO 639-1 in lower case (i.e. **de**)
+* Three letter codes from ISO 639-2 in lower case when there is no two letter code (i.e. **ast**)
+* Above language code followed by an underscore and upper case country code according to ISO 3166-1 (i.e. **pt_BR**)
+* Above language code followed by an at sign and lower case dialect (i.e. **ca@valencia**)
+* List of ISO-codes: http://www.loc.gov/standards/iso639-2/php/English_list.ph
+
+The codes are slightly modified in different places:
+* For use in Java manifest and XML file keys the "@" sign is replaced by a "-" (i.e. **ca-valencia**).
+* For use in Wiki page titles, the first letter (also after signs) is upper case (i.e. **Pt_BR** or **Ca-Valencia**)
