When I go to the top right in one of the interfaces, click the language option, and type 'filipino' and then click on *tagalog* I am sent to the following link: https://translatewiki.net/w/i.php?title=Special:Translate&group=tsint-wlmsurvey&language=fil&filter=&action=page . Please note the language code here is FIL, and not TL. The language code is however TL. If I do the same by typing 'tagalog' and clicking on tagalog, I am sent to: https://translatewiki.net/w/i.php?title=Special:Translate&group=tsint-wlmsurvey&language=tl&filter=&action=page with language code TL (as expected).
Confirmed. So there are two problems: 1) "fil" and "tl" have the same name (this is supposed to come from [[translatewiki:CLDR]] so we could be able to do something or not), 2) "fil" is not fully disabled as it's supposed to: in MediaWiki group too I can select it for translation, though all my translations are silently rejected ("not saved" gray label appears); see also bug 54627, bug 49898. And an enhancement request for ULS: 3) when typing "filipino", tl should be offered as option.
I am confused whether this problem is in Translate extension or in ULS. I think it is in the ULS unless at translatewiki.net we are enabling extra language codes.

Similarly, if I type "snd" I don't get "sd". I think jquery.uls probably needs to incorporate the language code aliases, occasionally reversing the map where we differ from CLDR on what's canonical (in CLDR tl -> fil, in MediaWiki we use "tl"). http://unicode.org/repos/cldr-tmp/trunk/diff/supplemental/aliases.html
2) is already covered by other bugs so I think this one should be only about the fil -> tl mapping, where the two following things can probably fixed at the same time: > 1) "fil" and "tl" have the same name (this is supposed to come from > [[translatewiki:CLDR]] so we could be able to do something or not), > 3) when typing "filipino", tl should be offered as option. in this way: > I think jquery.uls probably needs to incorporate the language code aliases, > occasionally reversing the map where we differ from CLDR on what's canonical > (in CLDR tl -> fil, in MediaWiki we use "tl"). > http://unicode.org/repos/cldr-tmp/trunk/diff/supplemental/aliases.html Hopefully the summary sums it up; there is also the problem of filtering bat-smg, be-x-old etc. correctly in <https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Talk:Universal_Language_Selector/Design/Interlanguage_links#Some_languages_are_missing> Those are also missing in the alias list so I filed http://unicode.org/cldr/trac/ticket/7699
