mfoltzgoogle has just created a new issue for https://github.com/webscreens/openscreenprotocol: == Representation of BCP-47 language tags == [BCP-47](https://tools.ietf.org/html/bcp47#section-4.4) states that language tags can be arbitrarily long in theory. In https://github.com/webscreens/openscreenprotocol/pull/53#issuecomment-331019337 @tomoyukilabs wrote: > Okay. I just wanted to confirm the reason of 64 characters. Regarding the length, BCP-47 describes Length Considerations and indicates several examples and recommendations, e.g.: > - historically most language tags have consisted of language and region subtags with a combined total length of up to six characters > - RFC4646 recommended a minimum field size of 42 characters This issue is to research real-world usage and/or ask for input from the i18n working group on language tag usage to inform if we want a fixed length string or variable length string.
