idnlang.conf(5)idnlang.conf(5)NAMEidnlang.conf - language alias file for idnkit
SYNOPSIS
/usr/local/etc/idnlang.conf
DESCRIPTION
The idnlang.conf file defines aliases of language names. It is located
on /usr/local/etc/idnlang.conf and always loaded automatically as
idn2.conf and .idn2rc. The aliases in this file can be used just as
the real names.
As described in idn2.conf(5), idnkit has a configuration parameter
named ``current language''. Unless the current language is specified
by the ``language'' entry in the idnkit configuration file, the idnkit
library guesses the current language from locale information at run
time. The idnkit library assumes the language name is an ISO639 lan‐
guage code (e.g. ``en''), but the language name taken from locale
information may not be (e.g. ``English''). Using idnlang.conf, you can
avoid the trouble.
The alias file is a simple text file, consisting of lines (other than
comment lines, which begin with ``#'', and empty lines) of the form:
alias-name real-name
where alias-name is an alias name to be defined, and real-name is its
real name.
