"iw" was the standard before it was declared obsolete and replaced by
"he".
As far as I know, Java still recognizes "iw" only.

Hebrew marked as 'iw' on Google translate
Sent by:

Hi,
I was just looking at http://translate.google.com/
and noticed that the language code they use for hebrew is 'iw' and not
'he'.
which would be the ISO 639-1 standard.
Any idea why are they using a different code?
Is it only Hebrew or do other languages have
code that is different from the ISO 639-1 in the Google
translation tool?
if there is some other standard where Hebrew is actually 'iw'
that might be the one Google is using?
regards
Gabor
