NAME
       idnlang.conf - language alias file for idnkit

SYNOPSIS
       /usr/local/etc/idnlang.conf

DESCRIPTION
       The idnlang.conf file defines aliases of language names.  It is located
       on /usr/local/etc/idnlang.conf and always loaded automatically as
       idn2.conf and .idn2rc.  The aliases in this file can be used just as
       the real names.

       As described in idn2.conf(5), idnkit has a configuration parameter
       named ``current language''.  Unless the current language is specified
       by the ``language'' entry in the idnkit configuration file, the idnkit
       library guesses the current language from locale information at run
       time.  The idnkit library assumes the language name is an ISO639
       language code (e.g. ``en''), but the language name taken from locale
       information may not be (e.g. ``English'').  Using idnlang.conf, you can
       avoid the trouble.

       The alias file is a simple text file, consisting of lines (other than
       comment lines, which begin with ``#'', and empty lines) of the form:

           alias-name real-name

       where alias-name is an alias name to be defined, and real-name is its
       real name.
