Create a class that accepts a string in its __init__, and has an 'initiate' 
method that knows how to interpret the string, and declare it as an adapter 
for type 'str':

class Lang:
     protocols.advise(
         instancesProvide=[ILang], asAdapterForTypes=[str]
     )
     def __init__(self,langstr):
         # XXX

     def initiate(self):
         # XXX


If the object needs more data than this, you'll have to add arguments to 
the 'initiate()' signature.
