Categorization and multiple programming languages

The categorization per programming language currently breaks if more than one language is used.

Maybe functionality from {{infobox aircraft}} related to authors, configurations etc. could be borrowed and applied here too.

That's a good idea. I thought of that a number of years ago, but decided against it as there are were not many pages using this template. There were only the labels to internally translate as well, whereas {{infobox aircraft}} is more specific and a lot of the data is internally translated. But it's worth changing. I'll see if I can quickly format something here.

Done - that was a rather easy one :)

Your changes totally missed the point of what I was trying to say, but totally made an improvement anyway. Lol.
What I meant was that it would be nice to be able to state that a piece of software consisted both of code in one language and in another language, and have the template add the article to both of those categories, for example Category:C++ software and Category:Python software.

Oh wait, the categories are still broken! Is there a specific page that does this? I don't see anything at Category:Software_by_programming_language.

Are the categorization for this one broken here as well? I had that in another one earlier today yesterday in Autoflight Navigation and thought that was an isolated hickup.

Click on the categories. Sometimes the CategoryTree extensions show that there are no pages in a category, which is at play here. Clicking on the categories reveal that there are pages in them. (Still have my issue with {{howto other}} and {{Autoflight Navigation‎}} I cant seem to solve though.)
