Member Function Documentation

◆ bcp47()

static LanguageCode::bcp47 ( $code)
static

Get the normalised IANA language tag See unit test for examples.

See mediawiki.language.bcp47 for the JavaScript implementation.

Parameters
string$codeThe language code.
Returns
string A language code complying with BCP 47 standards.
Since
1.31

Definition at line 188 of file LanguageCode.php.

◆ bcp47ToInternal()

static LanguageCode::bcp47ToInternal ( $code)
static

Convert standardized BCP 47 codes to the internal names used by MediaWiki and returned by Language::getCode().

This function should be the inverse of LanguageCode::bcp47(). Note that BCP 47 explicitly states that language codes are case-insensitive.

Since LanguageFactory::getLanguage() is pretty generous about accepting aliases (as long as they are lowercased), this function should be equivalent to: LanguageFactory::getLanguage(strtolower($code))->getCode() but (a) better describes the caller's intention, and (b) should be much more efficient in practice.

Parameters
string | Bcp47Code$codeThe standard BCP-47 language code
Returns
string A MediaWiki-internal code, as returned, for example, by Language::getCode()

Definition at line 231 of file LanguageCode.php.

◆ getDeprecatedCodeMapping()

static LanguageCode::getDeprecatedCodeMapping ( )
static

Returns a mapping of deprecated language codes that were used in previous versions of MediaWiki to up-to-date, current language codes.

This array is merged into $wgDummyLanguageCodes in Setup.php, along with the fake language codes 'qqq' and 'qqx', which are used internally by MediaWiki's localisation system.

Returns
string[]
Since
1.29

Definition at line 134 of file LanguageCode.php.

◆ getNonstandardLanguageCodeMapping()

static LanguageCode::getNonstandardLanguageCodeMapping ( )
static

Returns a mapping of non-standard language codes used by (current and previous version of) MediaWiki, mapped to standard BCP 47 names.

This array is exported to JavaScript to ensure mediawiki.language.bcp47 stays in sync with LanguageCode::bcp47().

Returns
string[]
Since
1.32

Definition at line 150 of file LanguageCode.php.

◆ isWellFormedLanguageTag()

static LanguageCode::isWellFormedLanguageTag ( string $code,
bool $lenient = false )
static

Returns true if a language code string is a well-formed language tag according to RFC 5646.

This function only checks well-formedness; it doesn't check that language, script or variant codes actually exist in the repositories.

Based on regexes by Mark Davis of the Unicode Consortium: https://github.com/unicode-org/icu/blob/37e295627156bc334e1f1e88807025fac984da0e/icu4j/main/tests/translit/src/com/ibm/icu/dev/test/translit/langtagRegex.txt

Parameters
string$code
bool$lenientWhether to allow '_' as separator. The default is only '-'.
Returns
bool

◆ normalizeNonstandardCodeAndWarn()

static LanguageCode::normalizeNonstandardCodeAndWarn ( string $code)
static

We want to eventually require valid BCP-47 codes on HTTP and HTML APIs (where the standards require it).

This will "prefer" to interpret the given $code as BCP-47, but if a mediawiki internal code is provided, it will map it to the proper BCP-47 code. We don't emit a logged warning on this path yet, but we intend to in the future.

Parameters
string$codeA "language code" provided from an HTTP or HTML API, presumed to be BCP-47
Returns
Bcp47Code An "actual" BCP-47 code
Access: internal

◆ replaceDeprecatedCodes()

static LanguageCode::replaceDeprecatedCodes ( $code)
static

Replace deprecated language codes that were used in previous versions of MediaWiki to up-to-date, current language codes.

Other values will be returned unchanged.

Parameters
string$codeOld language code
Returns
string New language code
