<anchor name="functionality"/>
<s2 title="Functionality">
<p>The <code>xml:lang</code> can be used to determine the language for a node or
a node-set. The attribute can be used to store language-specific data in an
XML document:</p>
<source>
<phrases>
<greeting xml:lang="en">Hello!</greeting>
<greeting xml:lang="no">Hei!</greeting>
<greeting xml:lang="fr">Salut!</greeting>
<greeting xml:lang="es">Hola!</greeting>
<greeting xml:lang="de">Sweinhund!</greeting>
</phrases>
</source>
<p>The XSL stylesheet can use the <code>lang()</code> function to select the
element with the desired language:</p>
<source>
<xsl:template match="greeting">
<xsl:if test="lang("de")>
<xsl:value-of select="."/>
<xsl:text> Grossglucklicher wunche!</xsl:text>
</xsl:if>
</xsl:template>
</source>
</s2> <anchor name="implementation"/>
<s2 title="Implementation">
<p>The DOM interface has been given a method that returns the language for
a given node. The language is returned as a string (on whatever format is
used in the XML document - should be iso), and may be null if no language is
defined.</p>
<source>
public String DOM.getLanguage(int node);
</source>
<p>The BasisLibrary class has a static method that will compare the language
of the context node with some other language and return the result as a
boolean.</p>
<source>
public static boolean BasisLibrary.testLanguage(String language, DOM dom, int node);
</source>
<p>The compiled code for the <code>lang()</code> method calls this method in the
BasisLibrary and leaves the result on the stack for the calling element.</p>
</s2>
