The values object

The most important prop to be passed is the values object, which must be a plain JS Object in the form { langTag: langValue }. For example:

values = {
  'it': 'Italian input',
  'en-US': 'English (United States) input',
  'en': 'English input',
  'de': 'German input'
};

All the language tags must be BCP 47 compliant. Differently encoded language names will be filtered out and not shown in the component.
The only exception to this rule is the default language, intended to be used as a general fallback language. If the default language is present, it will always be put on top of the available languages.
