Contained in package wwnls_api.

Call this function to map a NLS language name to the corresponding HTTP language abbreviation.

For a given NLS language, there could be multiple HTTP languages based on the territory. In the Oracle Portal schema, an installed NLS language is mapped to just one HTTP language. This function returns the HTTP language that corresponds to an installed NLS language.

Note: An HTTP language abbreviation is either a two character language abbreviation or a five character code that consists of a two character language abbreviation followed by a hyphen and a two character country code, e.g. 'en', 'en-gb', 'es', 'es-mx'. The common browsers use these language codes.
