InheritanceLang Inheritance CoreObject

This static enumeration class defines the language code of the system on which the player is running. The language is specified as a lowercase two-letter language code from ISO 639-1. For Chinese, an additional uppercase two-letter country code from ISO 3166 distinguishes between Simplified and Traditional Chinese. The languages codes are based on the English names of the language: for example, 'hu' specifies Hungarian.


Example 
     import andromeda.i18n.Lang ;
     
     trace( "Lang.ES.toString()        : " + Lang.ES.toString() ) ; // es
     trace( "Lang.ES.valueOf()         : " + Lang.ES.valueOf() ) ; // es
     trace( "Lang.ES.toSource()        : " + Lang.ES.toSource() ) ; // new andromeda.i18n.Lang("es","Spanish")
     trace( "Lang.ES.label             : " + Lang.ES.label ) ; // Spanish
     
     trace( "Lang.get('fr') == Lang.FR : " + ( Lang.get("fr") == Lang.FR ) ) ; // true
     trace( "Lang.validate('fr')       : " + Lang.validate('fr') ) ; // true
     trace( "Lang.validate( Lang.FR )  : " + Lang.validate( Lang.FR ) ) ; // true
     
     trace( "Lang.LANGS                : " + Lang.LANGS ) ;
     // {pl:pl,nl:nl,es:es,tr:tr,it:it,da:da,pt:pt,fi:fi,zh-CN:zh-CN,no:no,ja:ja,de:de,ru:ru,fr:fr,zh-TW:zh-TW,xu:xu,ko:ko,en:en,sv:sv,cs:cs,hu:hu}
     
     trace( "Lang.LANGS.size()         : " + Lang.LANGS.size() ) ; // 21
