Proposal
- Need a 'Declined to specify' option for language/race/ethnicity.
- Need to be able to select multiple options for Race (note the testing script has an example where two races are selected). This is an opportunity to include a multiselect option in the library/options.inc.php script and Layouts/LBF engine, which can use for the Race entry then.
- Languages
- Remove the option to Add a language from the main demographics form (should change this along with Race and Ethnicity to non-add lists datatypes in the layouts engine).
- ISO 639-2 alpha 3 code needs to be recorded somewhere
- Place them in the lists Notes field and rename the column to 'ISO 639-2 Code' for this list in the Lists GUI.
- Include all languages that have a corresponding alpha-2 code in ISO 639-1 (note, though, that the 639-2 alpha 3 code is what is stored)
- There are about 123 of them to add/modify
- List is here: http://www.loc.gov/standards/iso639-2/php/code_list.php
- (the corresponding three letter codes are also in above table)
