NAME

6       I18N::LangTags::Detect - detect the user's language preferences
7

SYNOPSIS

9         use I18N::LangTags::Detect;
10         my @user_wants = I18N::LangTags::Detect::detect();
11

DESCRIPTION

13       It is a common problem to want to detect what language(s) the user
14       would prefer output in.
15

FUNCTIONS

17       This module defines one public function,
18       I18N::LangTags::Detect::detect().  This function is not exported (nor
19       is even exportable), and it takes no parameters.
20
21       In scalar context, the function returns the most preferred language tag
22       (or undef if no preference was seen).
23
24       In list context (which is usually what you want), the function returns
25       a (possibly empty) list of language tags representing (best first) what
26       languages the user apparently would accept output in.  You will
27       probably want to pass the output of this through
28       I18N::LangTags::implicate_supers_tightly(...)  or
29       I18N::LangTags::implicate_supers(...), like so:
30
31         my @languages =
32           I18N::LangTags::implicate_supers_tightly(
33             I18N::LangTags::Detect::detect()
34           );
35

ENVIRONMENT

37       This module looks at several environment variables: REQUEST_METHOD,
38       HTTP_ACCEPT_LANGUAGE, LANGUAGE, LC_ALL, LC_MESSAGES, and LANG.
39
40       It will also use the Win32::Locale module, if it's installed and
41       IGNORE_WIN32_LOCALE is not set to a true value in the environment.
42

SEE ALSO

44       I18N::LangTags, Win32::Locale, Locale::Maketext.
45
46       (This module's core code started out as a routine in Locale::Maketext;
47       but I moved it here once I realized it was more generally useful.)
