Language codes for non-English recognition | Are they different on Android and iOS? #452

On this page I see that "zh-CN" for mainland and "zh-TW" for Taiwan are listed for Chinese; and "zh" is not listed. But on developers.apple.com like this page I often encounter "zh-Hans" and "zh-Hant". Note that this confusion applies to most non-English languages, i.e. not only Chinese. EDIT-1: Tested on Mac OS, and setLanguage("zh"); works and setLanguage("zh-Hans"); doesn't work. EDIT-2: Tried listening to Arabic on Mac OS. For some reason setLanguage("ar"); makes it return possible phrases as recognized speech but no annyang commands fired (Safari 16.0) even though the string values were obviously matching. So I had to quit using annyang.addCommands(commands); and instead I did something like,

annyang.addCallback('result', function() {
      // Run a for loop and use .search() to see if there is a match
});

and it worked.

Upon further and deeper search I've found https://www.ibabbleon.com/iOS-Language-Codes-ISO-639.html

It would be great if everyone «who gets to test it» shared his/her test results to let us find how reliable that is.

EDIT: As mentioned above in javascript annyang.setLanguage("zh"); works and annyang.setLanguage("zh-Hans"); doesn't work.
