/**
 * @defgroup language_negotiation Language Negotiation API functionality
 * @{
 * Functions to customize the language types and the negotiation process.
 *
 * The language negotiation API is based on two major concepts:
 * - Language types: types of translatable data (the types of data that a user
 *   can view or request).
 * - Language negotiation methods: functions for determining which language to
 *   use to present a particular piece of data to the user.
 * Both language types and language negotiation methods are customizable.
 *
 * Drupal defines three built-in language types:
 * - Interface language: The page's main language, used to present translated
 *   user interface elements such as titles, labels, help text, and messages.
 * - Content language: The language used to present content that is available
 *   in more than one language (see
 *   @link field_language Field Language API @endlink for details).
 * - URL language: The language associated with URLs. When generating a URL,
 *   this value will be used by url() as a default if no explicit preference is
 *   provided.
 * Modules can define additional language types through
 * hook_language_types_info(), and alter existing language type definitions
 * through hook_language_types_info_alter().
 *
 * Language types may be configurable or fixed. The language negotiation
 * methods associated with a configurable language type can be explicitly
 * set through the user interface. A fixed language type has predetermined
 * (module-defined) language negotiation settings and, thus, does not appear in
 * the configuration page. Here is a code snippet that makes the content
 * language (which by default inherits the interface language's values)
 * configurable:
 * @code
 * function mymodule_language_types_info_alter(&$language_types) {
 *   unset($language_types[LANGUAGE_TYPE_CONTENT]['fixed']);
 * }
 * @endcode
 *
 * Every language type can have a different set of language negotiation methods
 * assigned to it. Different language types often share the same language
 * negotiation settings, but they can have independent settings if needed. If
 * two language types are configured the same way, their language switcher
 * configuration will be functionally identical and the same settings will act
 * on both language types.
 *
 * Drupal defines the following built-in language negotiation methods:
 * - URL: Determine the language from the URL (path prefix or domain).
 * - Session: Determine the language from a request/session parameter.
 * - User: Follow the user's language preference.
 * - Browser: Determine the language from the browser's language settings.
 * - Default language: Use the default site language.
 * Language negotiation methods are simple callback functions that implement a
 * particular logic to return a language code. For instance, the URL method
 * searches for a valid path prefix or domain name in the current request URL.
 * If a language negotiation method does not return a valid language code, the
 * next method associated to the language type (based on method weight) is
 * invoked.
 *
 * Modules can define additional language negotiation methods through
 * hook_language_negotiation_info(), and alter existing methods through
 * hook_language_negotiation_info_alter(). Here is an example snippet that lets
 * path prefixes be ignored for administrative paths:
 * @code
 * function mymodule_language_negotiation_info_alter(&$negotiation_info) {
 *   // Replace the core function with our own function.
 *   module_load_include('language', 'inc', 'language.negotiation');
 *   $negotiation_info[LANGUAGE_NEGOTIATION_URL]['callbacks']['negotiation'] = 'mymodule_from_url';
 *   $negotiation_info[LANGUAGE_NEGOTIATION_URL]['file'] = drupal_get_path('module', 'mymodule') . '/mymodule.module';
 * }
 *
 * function mymodule_from_url($languages) {
 *   // Use the core URL language negotiation method to get a valid language
 *   // code.
 *   module_load_include('language', 'inc', 'language.negotiation');
 *   $langcode = language_from_url($languages);
 *
 *   // If we are on an administrative path, override with the default language.
 *   if (isset($_GET['q']) && strtok($_GET['q'], '/') == 'admin') {
 *     return language_default()->langcode;
 *   }
 *   return $langcode;
 * }
 * ?>
 * @endcode
 *
 * For more information, see
 * @link http://drupal.org/node/1497272 Language Negotiation API @endlink
