There is already a request for the same functionality but with entries themselves.

I added this as a feature request for the core. Here's the link: http://feedback.buildwithcraft.com/forums/285221-feature-requests/suggestions/8871952-creating-a-category-from-an-entry-page-in-control. Thanks!

<p>Can you use tags maybe? I think they work kind of the same, and u're able to add new ones right in the entry.</p>

I thought about it, but tags don't support parent-child relationships, and it matters in this case — these categories are to represent languages, language groups and dialects.

<p>Is there a plugin that allows to add a category via an entry page? I like how you're able to add categories in Wordpress admin right on a post page, not only via Categories section — this seems to facilitate the categorization of content by editors. It's possible that they'd rather skip the <code>Assign a category</code> button than do some extra work to create the required categories, and ability to enter new categories within the entry page would help to avoid that.</p>

<categories><plugins><control-panel>

I like how you're able to add categories in Wordpress admin right on a post page, not only via Categories section — this seems to facilitate the categorization of content by editors. It's possible that they'd rather skip the `Assign a category` button than do some extra work to create the required categories, and ability to enter new categories within the entry page would help to avoid that.

**Tags:** categories, plugins, control-panel
