# LanguageAvailability

A check for language support and status.

```
class LanguageAvailability
```

## Overview

Use this class to check and see whether the framework supports the language or language pairing
you want to offer as a translation. For example, to check if someone’s device supports a translation
you can do the following:

```
func translationIsSupported(from source: Locale.Language, to target: Locale.Language) async -> Bool {
    let availability = LanguageAvailability()
    let status = await availability.status(from: source, to: target)
    switch status {
    case .installed, .supported:
        return true
    case .unsupported
        return false
    }
}
```
