org.mycore.datamodel.language.MCRLanguageFactory
public class MCRLanguageFactory extends Object
Returns MCRLanguage instances. The languages most commonly used, English and German, are provided as constants. Other languages are read from a classification thats ID can be configured using the property "MCR.LanguageClassification". That classification should use ISO 639-1 code as category ID, where ISO 639-2 codes can be added by extra labels x-term and x-bibl for the category. Unknown languages are created by code as required, but a warning is logged.
