 IDN DOCUMENTS
Multilingual documents are generally identified by their two-digit language code - these codes are an ISO standard, and the list can be found at this page. There are a couple of strings not yet standardised and so when you see a 2-digit lowercase string in front of an uppercase string, that denotes a non-standard modifier. Two are commonly used: brPT (for Brazilian Portuguese) and siZH (Simplified Chinese). Where available, the language of the document is identified in that language
