NAME

Locale::Language - module for dealing with language code sets

SYNOPSIS

  1.    use Locale::Language;
  3.    $name = code2language(CODE);

DESCRIPTION

This module provides access to language code sets.

Please refer to the Locale::Codes::Types document for a description of the code sets available.

Most of the routines take an optional additional argument which specifies the code set to use. The code set can be specified using the name of a code set, or the perl constant specified in the above document. If not specified, the default code set will be used.

ROUTINES

All routines in this module call the appropriate method in the Locale::Codes module, using an object of type: language Please refer to the documentation of the Locale::Codes module for details about each function.

The following functions are exported automatically:

  • code2language(CODE [,CODESET] [,'retired'])

    See code2name in Locale::Codes

    See name2code in Locale::Codes

  • language_code2code(CODE ,CODESET ,CODESET2)

    See code2code in Locale::Codes

  • all_language_codes([CODESET] [,'retired'])

    See all_codes in Locale::Codes

  • all_language_names([CODESET] [,'retired'])

    See all_names in Locale::Codes
