boolean = $entry->set_active_languages (...)

  • ... (list) — the languages you want active, all of them

Sets the whole active-language roster in one go. Returns a boolean. 💜

$entry->set_checked ($checked)

  • $checked (boolean) — true/false vibe

Flip the checked state on or off. 🎀

$entry->deactivate_language ($lang)

  • $lang (string) — the language getting benched

Turns a single language back off. Not me removing a language 💀

boolean = $entry->is_checked

Tells you whether it's checked. Boolean, obvi. ⭐

boolean = $entry->language_is_active ($lang)

  • $lang (string) — the language you're asking about

Asks "is this language active rn?" and answers in booleans. 🧚

string = $entry->get_language_name ($lang)

  • $lang (string) — the language whose name you want

Gives you back the human-readable name of a language. 🌸

list = $entry->get_languages
