I get the same results when changing... (2 Replies)

Locale::Language - standard codes for language identification
SYNOPSIS
use Locale::Language;
$lang = code2language('en'); # $lang gets 'English'
$code = language2code('French'); # $code gets 'fr'
@codes = all_language_codes();
@names = all_language_names();
DESCRIPTION
The "Locale::Language" module provides access to standard codes used for identifying languages, such as those as defined in ISO 639.
Most of the routines take an optional additional argument which specifies the code set to use. If not specified, the default ISO 639 two-
letter codes will be used.
SUPPORTED CODE SETS
There are several different code sets you can use for identifying languages. The ones currently supported are:
alpha-2
This is the set of two-letter (lowercase) codes from ISO 639, such as 'he' for Hebrew.
This code set is identified with the symbol "LOCALE_LANG_ALPHA_2".
This is the default code set.
alpha-3
This is the set of three-letter (lowercase) bibliographic codes from ISO 639, such as 'heb' for Hebrew.
This code set is identified with the symbol "LOCALE_LANG_ALPHA_3".
term
This is the set of three-letter (lowercase) terminologic codes from ISO 639.
This code set is identified with the symbol "LOCALE_LANG_TERM".
