<br><tt><font size=2>Hi,<br>
<br>
I was just looking at </font></tt><a href=http://translate.google.com/><tt><font size=2>http://translate.google.com/</font></tt></a><tt><font size=2><br>
and noticed that the language code they use for hebrew is 'iw' and not
'he'.<br>
which would be the ISO 639-1 standard.<br>
<br>
Any idea why are they using a different code?<br>
Is it only Hebrew or do other languages have<br>
code that is different from the ISO 639-1 in the Google<br>
translation tool?<br>
<br>
if there is some other standard where Hebrew is actually 'iw'<br>
that might be the one Google is using?<br>
<br>
regards<br>
