PgLanguage.fromString

Take a RFC-3066 format language tag as a string and convert it to a PangoLanguage pointer that can be efficiently copied (copy the pointer) and compared with other language tags (compare the pointer.)

This function first canonicalizes the string by converting it to lowercase, mapping '_' to '-', and stripping all characters other than letters and '-'.

Use pango_language_get_default() if you want to get the PangoLanguage for the current locale of the process.
