    To display special characters correctly in a web browser, it's a good idea to decode the result data with utf8_decode:

    <?php

    echo utf8_decode(Locale::getDisplayLanguage('sl-Latn-IT-nedis', 'fr'));

    echo     utf8_decode(Locale::getDisplayLanguage('sl-Latn-IT-nedis', 'pt-BR'));

    ?>
