Interface LanguagePrecondition

    • Method Detail

      • getLanguages

        String[] getLanguages()
        Gets the languages that satisfy this precondition. This will be an array of ISO language identifiers. For this precondition to be satisfied, the document's language must be subsumed by one of these identifiers (for example, en-GB is subsumed by en).

        Note that if the document's language is unknown, the value of the default property determines whether this precondition is satisfied.

        Returns:
        the languages that satisfy this precondition
      • setLanguages

        void setLanguages​(String[] aLanguages)
        Sets the languages that satisfy this precondition. This will be an array of ISO language identifiers. For this precondition to be satisfied, the document's language must be subsumed by one of these identifiers (for example, en-GB is subsumed by en).

        Note that if the document's language is unknown, the value of the default property determines whether this precondition is satisfied. The ISO language identifiers are cannonicalized by lower-casing them and replacing underscores with hyphens. Also, if any of the identifiers are x-unspecified, the array is replaced with an array of just one element: x-unspecified, since all languages are defined to match that one.

        Parameters:
        aLanguages - the languages that satisfy this precondition
        Throws:
        UIMA_UnsupportedOperationException - if this MetaDataObject is not modifiable.
