    <title>topic Returned Language Codes are Not ISO 639 in Spotify for Developers</title>
    <link>https://community.spotify.com/t5/Spotify-for-Developers/Returned-Language-Codes-are-Not-ISO-639/m-p/4998840#M748</link>
    <description>&lt;P&gt;According to&amp;nbsp;&lt;A href="https://developer.spotify.com/documentation/web-api/reference/object-model/#episode-object-simplified" target="_blank" rel="noopener"&gt;Spotify Object Model, Episode objects&lt;/A&gt;&amp;nbsp;contain a languages property that is a list of ISO 639 language codes. This is a lie. In reality they can contain country codes too, such as en-US or en-GB. However, there is no documentation or explanation of this anywhere in the Spotify Web API website.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;On a similar but unrelated note, Spotify endpoints can return the country code XK in the available_markets parameter, which is not part of the ISO 3166 standard - it would be helpful to indicate that Spotify is using an extended version of the standard in the documentation.&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Thank you for flagging this,&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="https://community.spotify.com/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/23804417"&gt;@Koxiaet&lt;/a&gt;! I've made a note of the feedback and we will look at clarifying both docs in our next round of updates.&lt;/P&gt;</description>
