language-enum

language-enum is a robust, exhaustive enum representing a wide variety of global and regional languages. It’s designed for use in applications that require internationalization (i18n), localization, and handling of multiple languages.

Features

  • Exhaustive Language Support: Covers major world languages, regional languages, and some languages spoken by smaller populations.
  • Serialization & Deserialization: Comes with built-in support for serde to easily serialize and deserialize languages.
  • Flexible Other Variant: Allows specifying languages not covered in the predefined enum through the Other(String) variant.
  • No Dependencies: Apart from optional serde support, the crate is dependency-free.

Installation

Add language-enum to your Cargo.toml:

[dependencies]
language-enum = "0.1"

To enable serde support for serialization and deserialization:

[dependencies]
language-enum = { version = "0.1", features = ["serde"] }

Usage

use language_enum::Language;

fn main() {
    let lang = Language::English;
    println!("Selected language: {:?}", lang);

    // Using the `Other` variant for an unsupported language
    let other_lang = Language::Other("Klingon".to_string());
    println!("Other language: {:?}", other_lang);
}

Enum Variants

The Language enum includes a wide range of languages such as:

Major Languages: English, Spanish, Chinese (Mandarin), Arabic, Russian, etc. Regional Languages: Breton, Hawaiian, Basque, and others. Indigenous Languages: Cherokee, Navajo, Maori, and more. It also includes an Other(String) variant to cover any languages not explicitly listed.

Features

Serialization: Serialize and deserialize the enum with serde. Exhaustive: Covers a broad range of languages for various applications. Custom Language Support: Use Language::Other(String) for languages not in the predefined set. License
