Node:documentlanguage, Next:documentencoding, Up:Internationalization
@documentlanguage cc: Set the Document LanguageThe @documentlanguage command declares the current document
language. Write it on a line by itself, with a two-letter ISO-639
language code following (list is included below). If you have a
multilingual document, the intent is to be able to use this command
multiple times, to declare each language change. If the command is not
used at all, the default is en for English.
At present, this command is ignored in Info and HTML output. For
TeX, it causes the file txi-cc.tex to be read (if it
exists). Such a file appropriately redefines the various English words
used in TeX output, such as `Chapter', `See', and so on.
It would be good if this command also changed TeX's ideas of the
current hyphenation patterns (via the TeX primitive
\language), but this is unfortunately not currently implemented.
Hereare the valid language codes, from ISO-639.
