What's the diference between e107:.lan & e107::includeLan ?
Don't they do the same thing?

[Alex-e107nl]

Old style and new style? Using e107::themeLan('admin', $sitetheme, true); and e107::lan('theme'); in my themes now...
When i have to change that i hope to read it here....

e107::includeLan() is outdated and should not be used.

Instead use e107::lan() to load the language files for plugins or themes. This should be sufficient for most use cases, and it is the recommended method to use.

In some specific cases you can also use e107::coreLan(), e107::themeLan() and e107::plugLan(). This is only recommended for specific use cases.
