Module iso::language

Type definitions related to thie ISO 639 language code standard

Most of this module is dedicated to the Code enumeration, which enumerates over all ISO 639 alpha-2 codes. However, it is also possible to derive one from its alpha-3 t and alpha-3 b codes, if wished.

Basic usage

// the variant representing the english language
let english = Iso639_1::En;

println!("The name of the language represented by the ISO 639-3 code of {:?} is {}!", TryInto::<Iso639_3>::try_into(english), english.name());

assert_eq!(english.name(), "English");
assert_eq!(english.code(), "en");
assert_eq!(english.try_into(), Ok(Iso639_1::En));
assert_eq!(english.try_into(), Ok(Iso639_2b::Eng));
assert_eq!(english.try_into(), Ok(Iso639_2t::Eng));
assert_eq!(english.try_into(), Ok(Iso639_3::Eng));
