Language

Untyped pointer to the underlying `PangoLanguage` instance.

For type-safe access, use the generated, typed pointer language_ptr property instead.

Designated initialiser from the underlying C data type. This creates an instance without performing an unbalanced retain i.e., ownership is transferred to the Language instance.

Designated initialiser from a constant pointer to the underlying C data type. This creates an instance without performing an unbalanced retain i.e., ownership is transferred to the Language instance.

Optional initialiser from a non-mutating gpointer to the underlying C data type. This creates an instance without performing an unbalanced retain i.e., ownership is transferred to the Language instance.

Optional initialiser from a non-mutating gconstpointer to the underlying C data type. This creates an instance without performing an unbalanced retain i.e., ownership is transferred to the Language instance.

Optional initialiser from a constant pointer to the underlying C data type. This creates an instance without performing an unbalanced retain i.e., ownership is transferred to the Language instance.

Optional initialiser from the underlying C data type. This creates an instance without performing an unbalanced retain i.e., ownership is transferred to the Language instance.

Designated initialiser from the underlying C data type. PangoLanguage does not allow reference counting, so despite the name no actual retaining will occur. i.e., ownership is transferred to the Language instance.

Reference intialiser for a related type that implements LanguageProtocol PangoLanguage does not allow reference counting.

Unsafe typed initialiser. Do not use unless you know the underlying data type the pointer points to conforms to LanguageProtocol.

Unsafe typed, retaining initialiser. Do not use unless you know the underlying data type the pointer points to conforms to LanguageProtocol.

Unsafe untyped initialiser. Do not use unless you know the underlying data type the pointer points to conforms to LanguageProtocol.

Unsafe untyped, retaining initialiser. Do not use unless you know the underlying data type the pointer points to conforms to LanguageProtocol.

Unsafe untyped initialiser. Do not use unless you know the underlying data type the pointer points to conforms to LanguageProtocol.

Unsafe untyped, retaining initialiser. Do not use unless you know the underlying data type the pointer points to conforms to LanguageProtocol.

Unsafe untyped initialiser. Do not use unless you know the underlying data type the pointer points to conforms to LanguageProtocol.

Convert a language tag to a PangoLanguage.

The language tag must be in a RFC-3066 format. PangoLanguage pointers can be efficiently copied (copy the pointer) and compared with other language tags (compare the pointer.)

This function first canonicalizes the string by converting it to lowercase, mapping ‘_’ to ‘-’, and stripping all characters other than letters and ‘-’.

Use [funcPango.Language.get_default] if you want to get the PangoLanguage for the current locale of the process.

Returns the PangoLanguage for the current locale of the process.

On Unix systems, this is the return value is derived from setlocale (LC_CTYPE, NULL), and the user can affect this through the environment variables LC_ALL, LC_CTYPE or LANG (checked in that order). The locale string typically is in the form lang_COUNTRY, where lang is an ISO-639 language code, and COUNTRY is an ISO-3166 country code. For instance, sv_FI for Swedish as written in Finland or pt_BR for Portuguese as written in Brazil.

On Windows, the C library does not use any such environment variables, and setting them won’t affect the behavior of functions like ctime(). The user sets the locale through the Regional Options in the Control Panel. The C library (in the setlocale() function) does not use country and language codes, but country and language names spelled out in English. However, this function does check the above environment variables, and does return a Unix-style locale string based on either said environment variables or the thread’s current locale.

Your application should call setlocale(LC_ALL, "") for the user settings to take effect. GTK does this in its initialization functions automatically (by calling gtk_set_locale()). See the setlocale() manpage for more details.

Note that the default language can change over the life of an application.

Also note that this function will not do the right thing if you use per-thread locales with uselocale(). In that case, you should just call pango_language_from_string() yourself.
