 *       associated to the current language provider.
 *     - "url_rewrite": The callback that will provide URL rewriting.
 *   - "file": A file that will be included before the callback is invoked; this

 *   - "weight": The default weight the language provider has.
 *   - "name": A human-readable identifier.
 *   - "description": A description of the language provider.
