I18N::LangTags::Detect - detect the user's language preferences
use I18N::LangTags::Detect; my @user_wants = I18N::LangTags::Detect::detect();
It is a common problem to want to detect what language(s) the user would prefer output in.
This module defines one public function, I18N::LangTags::Detect::detect(). This function is not exported (nor is even exportable), and it takes no parameters.
I18N::LangTags::Detect::detect()
In scalar context, the function returns the most preferred language tag (or undef if no preference was seen).
In list context (which is usually what you want), the function returns a (possibly empty) list of language tags representing (best first) what languages the user apparently would accept output in. You will probably want to pass the output of this through I18N::LangTags::implicate_supers_tightly(...) or I18N::LangTags::implicate_supers(...), like so:
I18N::LangTags::implicate_supers_tightly(...)
I18N::LangTags::implicate_supers(...)
my @languages = I18N::LangTags::implicate_supers_tightly( I18N::LangTags::Detect::detect() );
This module looks at several environment variables: REQUEST_METHOD, HTTP_ACCEPT_LANGUAGE, LANGUAGE, LC_ALL, LC_MESSAGES, and LANG.
It will also use the Win32::Locale module, if it's installed and IGNORE_WIN32_LOCALE is not set to a true value in the environment.
I18N::LangTags, Win32::Locale, Locale::Maketext.
(This module's core code started out as a routine in Locale::Maketext; but I moved it here once I realized it was more generally useful.)
