getDisplayLanguage
public abstract String getDisplayLanguage(String languageCode, Locale locale)
Returns a localized name for the given IETF BCP47 language code and the given locale that is appropriate for display to the user. For example, iflanguageCode
is "fr" andlocale
is en_US, getDisplayLanguage() will return "French"; iflanguageCode
is "en" andlocale
is fr_FR, getDisplayLanguage() will return "anglais". If the name returned cannot be localized according tolocale
, (say, the provider does not have a Japanese name for Croatian), this method returns null.- Parameters:
languageCode
- the language code string in the form of two to eight lower-case letters between 'a' (U+0061) and 'z' (U+007A)locale
