Language Codes
Below is a list of the codes or abbreviations used to indicate the language of a translation.
- A rectangle like ENG indicates an English translation is available that is close-to-literal and uses the style commonly found in concert programmes or CD booklets.
- A rectangle like FRE indicates a French translation exists but is missing. This means that a composer set a specific translation to music, but we do not yet have the text in the database.
- A rectangle like SPA indicates a singable Spanish translation is available, or a translation that will fit the music when sung.
