Method Detail

getLanguage

public Language getLanguage(java.lang.String index)
                     throws ConfigurationException

Return the Language for a given name.

If there is no language present with the given name then a new one is created or loaded.

The index in TeX is the language number as String. This implementation does not have this restriction. The name can be any string.

The proposal is to use a natural number for backward compatibility and ISO language codes otherwise.

Parameters:: index - the name for which the language is requested
Returns:: the language for the given name
Throws:: ConfigurationException - in case of an error in the configuration
