I'm trying to use the firebase ML language identifier. Whenever I type something in Hebrew, I get back the language code 'iw' instead of 'he'. I tried to look for the API or the meaning of the 'iw' code in the documentation, but couldn't find anything.
What is the meaning of 'iw' language code from firebase-ml-languageIdentifier? (flutter)

We made some changes to Firebase ML Kit to better distinguish the on-device APIs from cloud based APIs. "ML Kit"(without firebase branding) contains all the on-device APIs. Here's the migration guide from firebase mlkit to mlkit.
In the standalone mlkit, we are using he instead of iw for Hebrew.
"iw" is an old code which was changed to "he" in 1989.
