- I18N::LangTags
-
- I18N::LangTags - functions for dealing with RFC3066-style language
- tags
-
- Language tags are a formalism, described in RFC 3066 (obsoleting
- 1766), for declaring what language form (language and possibly
- dialect) a given chunk of information is in.
-
- This library provides functions for common tasks involving language
- tags (notably the extraction of them, comparing them, and testing the
- formal validity of them) as is needed in a variety of protocols and
- applications.
-
-
- I18N::LangTags::List -- tags and names for human languages. This
- module goes from known language tag names ("fr-CA") to their English
- names ("Canadian French"). Its documentation also lists the several
- hundred known tags and some common subforms. You may find this useful
- as a reference.
-
-
- See the POD for more information.
