import { Language } from "https://esm.sh/gh/doga/[email protected]/mod.mjs";

['en', 'fr', 'de', 'tr'].forEach(iso639_1 => {
    const lang = Language.fromCode(iso639_1);
    if(!lang)return;
    console.info(`Language info for ${lang}:`);
    console.info(`  ISO 639-1:   ${lang.iso639_1}`);
    console.info(`  ISO 639-2:   ${lang.iso639_2}`);
    console.info(`  Name:        ${lang.name}`);
    console.info(`  Native name: ${lang.nativeName}`);
