Class LangString

java.lang.Object

dev.enola.common.text.LangString

Direct Known Subclasses:

PronounceableText

public sealed class LangString
extends Object
permits PronounceableText (not exhaustive)

LangString is a String plus its (mandatory) language.

For example, "hello, world" in English is a LangString.

Text Direction is optionally also part of a LangString.

The class name LangString was chosen both because of its *String suffix familiarity for Java developers, and inspired by rdf:langString (even though this Java type is otherwise technically not specific to the Resource Description Framework [RDF] as such).

Alternative names for the same concept include LocalizedText, LanguageText, MultilingualString ('MLS'; or MultiLangString or MultiLanguageString), InternationalizedString or LanguageString.
