Is there a way to link foreign language cards in our deck lists?

It would be a very large project to add to our database all of the printings of all cards in all languages. Because our listings are updated by volunteers, I don't know if such a task could even be accomplished.

True , but people could still specify language.

We'd need to come up with notation for that. I wouldn't mind it, though. Something like the F next to foils.

I could get you the list of state reporting two letter abbreviations for every language in the world.

Ok, now it just needs to be narrowed for the applicable languages the cards exist in lol

Sweet. Even the formatting guide has been updated, which is really cool. Thanks yeaGO!

I think that somewhere in the formatting guide, we could list or provide a link to the letter codes for the different languages in which Magic is available. The system is only intuitive up to a point and many people will require a reference list, especially if they aren't native English speakers familiar with English names for other languages.
