Re: [edk2-devel] [PATCH v2 1/1] MdePkg: UefiLib: Add a function to check if a language is supported

["Liming Gao" <liming.gao@intel.com>]

Tom:
  New API IsLanguageSupported() only supports RFC 4646 language code for the Unicode string. 
  If you think ISO 639-2 language code is obsolete, and don't plan to support it any longer. Please 
  update IsLanguageSupported() function description to clarify this API for RFC 4646 language code. 

  And, I still want to know what other usage model for this new API IsLanguageSupported(). For example, 
  how UEFI HII driver consumes this API? If this API is only used in UefiLib, it can be the internal function 
  in UefiLib library instance. 

Thanks
Liming
