This is part of an old discussion that we've had numerous times (check
the archives for iso language code). Basically it boils down to have a
mapping between iso language code, region, contraction grade,
6-or-8-point and the corresponding liblouis table.
Something along the lines of the IETF language tag
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IETF_language_tag) would probably be what
we are looking for.
There is even code in liblouis to use something like a special liblouis
table to do this mapping (based on those old discussions). However it
hasn't been documented and most likely nobody is using it. Also I'm not
quite sure it can handle all the requirements.
Thanks
Christian
