## Definitions

### `eu.leksis.language`

**Type**: `record`

A language of the Leksis dictionary, identified by its IETF (BCP 47) tag. Records prove authorship, not ownership: any user may publish a record for any tag, and the AppView treats the latest record for a tag as the current version, archiving previous ones. By convention the record key is the normalized (lowercase) tag.

**Key**: `any`

| Property | Type | Required | Description |
|----------|------|----------|-------------|
| `tag` | `string` | Yes | Well-formed IETF BCP 47 language tag, normalized to lowercase (e.g. "br", "br-gw"). |
| `createdAt` | `string` (datetime) | Yes | Client-declared creation time of this record version. |
| `translations` | `array` | Yes | Names of this language in other languages. Must contain the endonym: an item whose languageID equals this record's tag, giving the language's name in itself. |

### `eu.leksis.language#translation`

**Type**: `object`

| Property | Type | Required | Description |
|----------|------|----------|-------------|
| `languageID` | `string` | Yes | BCP 47 tag of the language this name is written in. |
| `translation` | `string` | Yes | The language's name written in the language identified by languageID. |
