wondering... how does the language of a tweet actually get set ?!
is it taken from the profile settings (location?), http headers set
from the user OS or from actually analyzing the text content and
assigning to a language with a dedicated algorithm?!

Hi Michael,
Thank you very much for this. Going back to look again at that page
again the ISO link is right there, as you say. I don't know why my eye
skipped over it like that. I guess too much/not enough caffeine.
Thanks again, sorry for the time waster.

According to the documentation of the lang parameter under
Parameters
athttp://apiwiki.twitter.com/Twitter-Search-API-Method%3A-search
, the language codes should be provided using the ISO 639-1 code
(actual list athttp://www.loc.gov/standards/iso639-2/php/code_list.php)
. Those codes are two letter such as “en” for English and “es” for
Spanish.
Hope this helps.

I can't spot information on languages in the wiki. Please can someone
advise what values are in the language parameter in tweets from the
search api. All possible iso language codes? two and four codes, e.g.
en-us and en, or just the two-letter codes? Whatever the user wants?
Thanks a lot,
Ben
