Settings

Settings for this application. The most important is TRANSLATION_LANGUAGES because it’s probably project specific.

TRANSLATION_LANGUAGES
List of language codes. It is used to generate the alternate_names property of cities_light models. You want to keep it as small as possible. By default, it includes the most popular languages according to wikipedia, which use a rather ascii-compatible alphabet. It also contains ‘abbr’ which stands for ‘abbreviation’, you might want to include this one as well.
