=pod =head1 NAME Locale::Language - module for dealing with language code sets =head1 SYNOPSIS use Locale::Language; $name = code2language(CODE); $code = language2code(NAME); @codes = all_language_codes(); @names = all_language_names(); =head1 DESCRIPTION This module provides access to language code sets. Please refer to the L<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. =head1 ROUTINES All routines in this module call the appropriate method in the L<Locale::Codes> module, using an object of type: language Please refer to the documentation of the L<Locale::Codes> module for details about each function. The following functions are exported automatically: =over 4 =item B<code2language(CODE [,CODESET] [,'retired'])> See B<code2name> in L<Locale::Codes> =item B<language2code(NAME [,CODESET] [,'retired'])> See B<name2code> in L<Locale::Codes> =item B<language_code2code(CODE ,CODESET ,CODESET2)> See B<code2code> in L<Locale::Codes> =item B<all_language_codes([CODESET] [,'retired'])> See B<all_codes> in L<Locale::Codes> =item B<all_language_names([CODESET] [,'retired'])> See B<all_names> in L<Locale::Codes> =back The following functions are not exported and must be called fully qualified with the package name: =over 4 =item B<Locale::Language::show_errors(FLAG)> By default, invalid input will produce empty results, but no errors. By passing in a non-zero value of FLAG, errors will be produced. See B<show_errors> in L<Locale::Codes> but note that the default for the non-OO modules are to NOT produce errors. =item B<Locale::Language::rename_language(CODE ,NEW_NAME [,CODESET])> See B<rename_code> in L<Locale::Codes> =item B<Locale::Language::add_language(CODE ,NAME [,CODESET])> See B<add_code> in L<Locale::Codes> =item B<Locale::Language::delete_language(CODE [,CODESET])> See B<delete_code> in L<Locale::Codes> =item B<Locale::Language::add_language_alias(NAME ,NEW_NAME)> See B<add_alias> in L<Locale::Codes> =item B<Locale::Language::delete_language_alias(NAME)> See B<delete_alias> in L<Locale::Codes> =item B<Locale::Language::rename_language_code(CODE ,NEW_CODE [,CODESET])> See B<replace_code> in L<Locale::Codes> =item B<Locale::Language::add_language_code_alias(CODE ,NEW_CODE [,CODESET])> See B<add_code_alias> in L<Locale::Codes> =item B<Locale::Language::delete_language_code_alias(CODE [,CODESET])> See B<delete_code_alias> in L<Locale::Codes> =back =head1 SEE ALSO =over 4 =item L<Locale::Codes> The Locale-Codes distribution. =back =head1 AUTHOR See Locale::Codes for full author history.
