keelelistele

Keelelistele is an Estonian term used in language technology contexts to describe the action of enumerating the languages available in a system. It is often encountered as a user interface label or as an API operation name in software documentation.

In software localization workflows, keelelistele may refer to a command, function, or endpoint that returns the set of supported languages for a product, site, or dataset. It is common in localization pipelines, content management systems, translation management tools, and internationalization libraries, where knowing which languages are available is a prerequisite for tasks such as translation, display customization, and locale handling.

Typical outputs of a keelelistele operation include language codes (such as ISO 639-1 or 639-2), human-readable display names, and optional metadata such as locale variants, text direction, or whether a language is enabled. The data can be delivered in machine-readable formats like JSON or XML, or presented as a human-readable list in documentation or UI.

Etymology and usage: the term appears to be a compound-like Estonian construction, combining elements associated with language and listing. As a label, keelelistele is used primarily in documentation, user interface strings, and developer-oriented contexts related to localization and internationalization.
