## Sort channels by language
To sort the channel by language, you only need to specify the appropriate language in `tvg-language` attribute in the channel description. For example:
```xml
#EXTINF:-1 tvg-language="Arabic",Abu Dhabi Drama
http://example.com/ad-drama.m3u8
```
And at the next update the channel will automatically get to the necessary playlist, in this case it is `languages/ara.m3u`.
Importantly, the name of the language must comply with [ISO 639-3](https://iso639-3.sil.org/code_tables/639/data?title=&field_iso639_cd_st_mmbrshp_639_1_tid=94671&name_3=&field_iso639_element_scope_tid=All&field_iso639_language_type_tid=51&items_per_page=500) standart otherwise it will simply be ignored during the playlist update.
If a channel is broadcast in several languages at once, you can specify them all through a semicolon, like this:
```xml
#EXTINF:-1 tvg-language="English;Chinese",CCTV
http://example.com/cctv.m3u8
```
In case you do not know exactly which language the given channel is broadcast in, you can leave the field `tvg-language` empty. In this case, the channel will be automatically saved in `languages/undefined.m3u` file and someone from the community will be able to specify the correct language later.
## Sort channels by country ## Sort channels by country
You can help sorting channels by country by moving the link to the channel with the entire description from one playlist in the `channels/` folder to another. Be careful, any changes outside the `channels/` folder will not be accepted, since the rest of the playlists are generated automatically.
