convertPOSIXToIANA(lang)

source code

Converts a POSIX language string to a IANA language tag following RFC 4646 http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc4646.txt, the format recommended for AEOutput device language settings.

The POSIX format is language[_territory][.codeset]

Some examples include "en", "fr_CA", "en_US.UTF-8". Ambiguous conversions such as "zh_CN" are allowed, but do not pinpoint specific spoken dialects (i.e. Mandarin, Cantonese, Pinyin, Taiwanese Mandarin, etc.) The code set is currently ignored, though may serve as a hint for the dialect in the future.

Parameters:

lang (string) - POSIX locale string

Returns: string

IANA language tag
