Remarks

Construct a locale from a language code. This constructor normalizes the language value to lowercase.

<b>Note:</b> <ul> <li>ISO 639 is not a stable standard; some of the language codes it defines (specifically "iw", "ji", and "in") have changed. This constructor accepts both the old codes ("iw", "ji", and "in") and the new codes ("he", "yi", and "id"), but all other API on Locale will return only the OLD codes. <li>For backward compatibility reasons, this constructor does not make any syntactic checks on the input. </ul>
