Returns language tags associated with the user ID.

Note This @function is new with Release 5.

Syntax

@UserNameLanguage( index )

Parameters

index

Number. Indicates the index of user names. 0 is for primary name and 1 is for alternate name. Numbers greater than 1 are not used but reserved for future use.

namelanguage

Text. Language tag for the alternate user name. If the user does not have the alternate name, @UserNameLanguage returns an empty string (""). Also, this function returns an empty string for the primary name.

The alternate name is expected to be used for a user's native language name.

Generally the native language name contains non-ASCII characters and cannot be displayed correctly without some proper fonts. The return value from @UsernameLanguage is used as reference of the native language.

@UserNameLanguage can be used as a default value formula to store the author's alternate language tag in their document as well as their primary name and alternate name. While referring to the language tag, the Domino application can switch the display name on the document between the primary name and the alternate name.

See @Locale for a list of language codes.
