Language Comparison
FileFlows allows several flow elements to compare the language of a source (e.g., an audio track) against user-defined patterns.
These comparisons follow the String Operations.
The language from the source is compared using one of the following:
- ISO-639-1 Code (e.g., en for English)
- ISO-639-2 Code (e.g., eng for English)
- English Name (e.g., English) If any of these match the pattern entered by the user, the comparison is considered a match.
Examples
| Source | Comparison | Result | Reason |
|---|---|---|---|
fr | French | Matches | "French" is the English name for the ISO-639-1 code fr. |
German | `fr | de` | Matches |
en | orig | Matches | If the variable OriginalLanguage is set to en or a variant, it will match. |
eng | *ish | Matches | The English name for eng is English, which ends with ish. |
Original Language
There is a speical orig or {OriginalLanguage} that can be used to match the original language.
This requires the OriginalLanguage variable to be set earlier on in the flow to work.
