In my work, I sometimes need to look up ISO 3166-1 country codes or ISO 639 language codes.
While remembering the above Wikipedia pages is an option, the Country Lookup Raycast extension has served me well1 to make country lookups more quick and helpful, in some cases.
A simple lookup tool targeting language data specifically would be helpful. It wouldn’t be the first simple static lookup tool in Raycast that I use extensively (looking at you, HTTP Status Codes).
At the very least, it should support:
- Finding the language code for a given English language name.
- Finding the English language name for a given language code.
Nice to have: support for parsing and listing possible BCP 47 language tags.

Until a few days before writing this, it shipped with a static JSON country database. Now it requires you to get an API key. I kind of don’t like that? ↩
