Summary description: language-dependent settings based on language codes
License type: lppl
Announcement text:
`langcode.sty' in the first instance provides a command \uselangcode{<chars>} to adjust language-dependent settings, such as key words, typographical conventions, and language codes (ISO-639-1). An author frequently writing documents in two or more languages can use the same commands independently of the language, provided they are gathered in a list macro to be used by the `dowith' package. If `\<cmd>' is in the list, it is set to work like `\<chars><cmd>', and a macro `\langcode' will expand to <chars> (the respective tokens), usable in URLs. The package is ``generic," based on `plainpkg'. The code has been used with `morehype' and `catchdq' (`catcodes'), but may be useful more generally.
This package is located at http://mirror.ctan.org/macros/generic/langcode . More information is at http://www.ctan.org/pkg/langcode (if the package is new it may take a day for that information to appear). We are supported by the TeX Users Group http://www.tug.org .

Thanks for the upload. For the CTAN Team Rainer Schöpf

langcode – Simple language-dependent settings based on language codes
The package provides a command \uselangcode{<code>} to adjust language-dependent settings such as key words, typographical conventions and language codes (ISO 639-1).
The package provides a means of selecting macros according to the specified code, for preparing a document that is to be separately typeset in different laguages.
The package is dependent on the plainpkg package, and is already in use in the morehype and catcodes packages.
