The language shorthand identifying which Wikipedia access

Where to store data retrieved by function call? The data is stored in CSV format. If an already existing file is used for storage, the old data will not be deleted but instead new data will be added to this file! The cache in memory before the function call will be saved and restored afterwards. If you prefer automatic mirroring of in memory cache and cache on disk
