If your language doesn’t provide an explicit script (like the language code `az` for instance) an implicit language is chosen for you: `Latin` in Azerbaijani’s case. If you’d rather use another script you can build a language with the correct script. The default language is the official or most important script for a language or for a language/country compound.

However, even if using a hyphen (or dash) is better, some software use underscores (`en_GB`), so you can choose to use dashed language tags in your project settings.

Sometimes you’ll want to create your own language. For instance, if your development team writes an English copy that needs to be proofread, you might want to create a fake language “English by developers”. The copy in this language will, in turn, be modified and proofread by a professional proofreader before being translated into other languages.
