How languagelayeR works

The version 1.1.0 works with two functions. Which are :

  • get_lang Get language information from a character string

  • get_supported_lang Get all current accessible languages on the languagelayer API

First of all

Before any request on the languagelayer, you need to get your API key from your language layer dashboard.

Examples

getSupportedLanguage

List all the languages available on the languagelayer API.

get_supported_lang(api_key = "your_api_key")
