  The UEFI Library provides functions and macros that simplify the development of 
  UEFI Drivers and UEFI Applications.  These functions and macros help manage EFI

  EFI Driver Model related protocols, manage Unicode string tables for UEFI Drivers, 
  and print messages on the console output and standard error devices.

  This function supports both ISO 639-2 and RFC 4646 language codes, but language 
  code types may not be mixed in a single call to this function.  The language 
  code returned is allocated using AllocatePool().  The caller is responsible for 
  freeing the allocated buffer using FreePool().  This function supports a variable
  argument list that allows the caller to pass in a prioritized list of language 
  codes to test against all the language codes in SupportedLanguages.

                                  in ISO 639-2 format.  If FALSE, then all language

                                  SupportedLanguages.  Close matches only apply to RFC 4646
                                  language codes, and the matching algorithm from RFC 4647
                                  is used to determine if a close match is present.  If

                                  language code from SupportedLanguages is returned.  If

                                  parameter is evaluated.  The variable argument list 
                                  is terminated by a NULL.
