Parsel Posted: An Updated Mint Plug-in to Detect Language · 105 words posted 09/12/2005 09:38 AM
IMPORTANT UPDATE 01/26/2007: Parsel now works with Mint 1.29. You can grab the new version on google code.
I’ve updated Parsel to version 0.0.8 and added the two most frequent user requests:
- Parsel now shows only the primary browser language, and
- Parsel now aggregates the most common hits by root language, with an expandable pane showing regional variations (see image below).

Please check the included READ ME file for installation or update instructions. If you find any missing or incorrect language codes, please email me or post a comment here; I’ll update accordingly.
(Parsel is a Pepper plug-in for Shaun Inman’s Mint, a program for tracking site statistics).

Getting an “rs” as the primary language and then displays “rs1_9bb13a0d44c;q=0.0” for the regional. Also getting an “nb” as the primary and then shows “Norwegian (Bokmal)” for the regional. #

Geoffrey, thanks for the info.
I don’t think rs or rs1 are ISO-369 language codes, so if Parsel can’t find a match in the language list it spits out the raw entry, which is what you’re seeing.
For the Norwegian listing, it sounds like I need to update the entry for nb. #
