I'd love to see all the world's languages (or at least as many as possible) added to WPML with or without flags so that it becomes easier to just grab languages that are not super widely known. Seems that this would be super easy to do considering all it is, is a definition list rather than actual translations.

Hi,
Just to confirm, you’d like WPML to include a much broader list of world languages by default (as selectable definitions), rather than having to add lesser-used languages manually each time?
If that’s correct, I’m happy to submit this as a formal feature request to our product team.
To help us scope this properly: is your request mainly for broader, more comprehensive language coverage overall, or are there specific languages (or groups of languages) you feel we should prioritise adding?
It is just a general request. I do have some languages I am wanting but I've already got them added for myself on all current projects so I am not in a hurry but this should be added as a high priority goal for WPML as it doesn't make sense that a widely used translation plugin does not have at least all T1 languages listed as built-in options.

For us to turn this into a concrete feature request for our development team, it would be very helpful to understand the gap you’re seeing between WPML’s current pre-configured language list and what you consider “Tier 1” (widely expected, high-priority) languages.
When you refer to T1 languages, are you mainly thinking about:
- Major world languages that are currently missing entirely from WPML’s default list?
- Specific regional variants (e.g. language + country combinations) that you’d expect to be pre-configured?
- Or a broader expectation that WPML should ship with a near-complete ISO-based language set, rather than a curated subset?
If you’re able to name a few examples of languages or variants you’d expect to see by default but currently don’t, that will help us scope and prioritize the request accurately.
