Locale represents a specific geographical, political,
* or cultural region. An operation that requires a Locale to perform
* its task is called locale-sensitive and uses the Locale
* to tailor information for the user. For example, displaying a number
* is a locale-sensitive operation--the number should be formatted
* according to the customs/conventions of the user's native country,
* region, or culture. In the C APIs, a locales is simply a const char string.
*
*
* You create a Locale with one of the three options listed below.
* Each of the component is separated by '_' in the locale string.
*
** The first option is a valid ISO * Language Code. These codes are the lower-case two-letter * codes as defined by ISO-639. * You can find a full list of these codes at a number of sites, such as: ** \code * newLanguage * * newLanguage + newCountry * * newLanguage + newCountry + newVariant * \endcode **
* The second option includes an additonal ISO Country
* Code. These codes are the upper-case two-letter codes
* as defined by ISO-3166.
* You can find a full list of these codes at a number of sites, such as:
*
* http://www.chemie.fu-berlin.de/diverse/doc/ISO_3166.html
*
*
* The third option requires another additonal information--the * Variant. * The Variant codes are vendor and browser-specific. * For example, use WIN for Windows, MAC for Macintosh, and POSIX for POSIX. * Where there are two variants, separate them with an underscore, and * put the most important one first. For * example, a Traditional Spanish collation might be referenced, with * "ES", "ES", "Traditional_WIN". * *
* Because a Locale is just an identifier for a region,
* no validity check is performed when you specify a Locale.
* If you want to see whether particular resources are available for the
* Locale you asked for, you must query those resources. For
* example, ask the UNumberFormat for the locales it supports
* using its getAvailable method.
*
Note: When you ask for a resource for a particular
* locale, you get back the best available match, not necessarily
* precisely what you asked for. For more information, look at
* UResourceBundle.
*
*
* The Locale provides a number of convenient constants
* that you can use to specify the commonly used
* locales. For example, the following refers to a locale
* for the United States:
*
** ** \code * ULOC_US * \endcode **
* Once you've specified a locale you can query it for information about
* itself. Use uloc_getCountry to get the ISO Country Code and
* uloc_getLanguage to get the ISO Language Code. You can
* use uloc_getDisplayCountry to get the
* name of the country suitable for displaying to the user. Similarly,
* you can use uloc_getDisplayLanguage to get the name of
* the language suitable for displaying to the user. Interestingly,
* the uloc_getDisplayXXX methods are themselves locale-sensitive
* and have two versions: one that uses the default locale and one
* that takes a locale as an argument and displays the name or country in
* a language appropriate to that locale.
*
*
* The ICU provides a number of services that perform locale-sensitive
* operations. For example, the unum_xxx functions format
* numbers, currency, or percentages in a locale-sensitive manner.
*
** Each of these methods has two variants; one with an explicit locale * and one without; the latter using the default locale. ** \code * UErrorCode success = U_ZERO_ERROR; * UNumberFormat *nf; * const char* myLocale = "fr_FR"; * * nf = unum_open( UNUM_DEFAULT, NULL, success ); * unum_close(nf); * nf = unum_open( UNUM_CURRENCY, NULL, success ); * unum_close(nf); * nf = unum_open( UNUM_PERCENT, NULL, success ); * unum_close(nf); * \endcode **
** A* \code * * nf = unum_open( UNUM_DEFAULT, myLocale, success ); * unum_close(nf); * nf = unum_open( UNUM_CURRENCY, myLocale, success ); * unum_close(nf); * nf = unum_open( UNUM_PERCENT, myLocale, success ); * unum_close(nf); * \endcode **
Locale is the mechanism for identifying the kind of services
* (UNumberFormat) that you would like to get. The locale is
* just a mechanism for identifying these services.
*
* * Each international serivce that performs locale-sensitive operations * allows you * to get all the available objects of that type. You can sift * through these objects by language, country, or variant, * and use the display names to present a menu to the user. * For example, you can create a menu of all the collation objects * suitable for a given language. Such classes implement these * three class methods: *
*** \code * const char* uloc_getAvailable(int32_t index); * int32_t uloc_countAvailable(); * int32_t * uloc_getDisplayName(const char* localeID, * const char* inLocaleID, * UChar* result, * int32_t maxResultSize, * UErrorCode* err); * * \endcode **
* Concerning POSIX/RFC1766 Locale IDs, * the getLanguage/getCountry/getVariant/getName functions do understand * the POSIX type form of language_COUNTRY.ENCODING@VARIANT * and if there is not an ICU-stype variant, uloc_getVariant() for example * will return the one listed after the @at sign. As well, the hyphen * "-" is recognized as a country/variant separator similarly to RFC1766. * So for example, "en-us" will be interpreted as en_US. * As a result, uloc_getName() is far from a no-op, and will have the * effect of converting POSIX/RFC1766 IDs into ICU form, although it does * NOT map any of the actual codes (i.e. russian->ru) in any way. * Applications should call uloc_getName() at the point where a locale ID * is coming from an external source (user entry, OS, web browser) * and pass the resulting string to other ICU functions. For example, * don't use de-de@EURO as an argument to resourcebundle. * * @see UResourceBundle */ /** Useful constant for this language. @stable ICU 2.0 */ #define ULOC_CHINESE "zh" /** Useful constant for this language. @stable ICU 2.0 */ #define ULOC_ENGLISH "en" /** Useful constant for this language. @stable ICU 2.0 */ #define ULOC_FRENCH "fr" /** Useful constant for this language. @stable ICU 2.0 */ #define ULOC_GERMAN "de" /** Useful constant for this language. @stable ICU 2.0 */ #define ULOC_ITALIAN "it" /** Useful constant for this language. @stable ICU 2.0 */ #define ULOC_JAPANESE "ja" /** Useful constant for this language. @stable ICU 2.0 */ #define ULOC_KOREAN "ko" /** Useful constant for this language. @stable ICU 2.0 */ #define ULOC_SIMPLIFIED_CHINESE "zh_CN" /** Useful constant for this language. @stable ICU 2.0 */ #define ULOC_TRADITIONAL_CHINESE "zh_TW" /** Useful constant for this country/region. @stable ICU 2.0 */ #define ULOC_CANADA "en_CA" /** Useful constant for this country/region. @stable ICU 2.0 */ #define ULOC_CANADA_FRENCH "fr_CA" /** Useful constant for this country/region. @stable ICU 2.0 */ #define ULOC_CHINA "zh_CN" /** Useful constant for this country/region. @stable ICU 2.0 */ #define ULOC_PRC "zh_CN" /** Useful constant for this country/region. @stable ICU 2.0 */ #define ULOC_FRANCE "fr_FR" /** Useful constant for this country/region. @stable ICU 2.0 */ #define ULOC_GERMANY "de_DE" /** Useful constant for this country/region. @stable ICU 2.0 */ #define ULOC_ITALY "it_IT" /** Useful constant for this country/region. @stable ICU 2.0 */ #define ULOC_JAPAN "ja_JP" /** Useful constant for this country/region. @stable ICU 2.0 */ #define ULOC_KOREA "ko_KR" /** Useful constant for this country/region. @stable ICU 2.0 */ #define ULOC_TAIWAN "zh_TW" /** Useful constant for this country/region. @stable ICU 2.0 */ #define ULOC_UK "en_GB" /** Useful constant for this country/region. @stable ICU 2.0 */ #define ULOC_US "en_US" /** * Useful constant for the maximum size of the language part of a locale ID. * (including the terminating NULL). * @stable ICU 2.0 */ #define ULOC_LANG_CAPACITY 12 /** * Useful constant for the maximum size of the country part of a locale ID * (including the terminating NULL). * @stable ICU 2.0 */ #define ULOC_COUNTRY_CAPACITY 4 /** * Useful constant for the maximum size of the whole locale ID * (including the terminating NULL). * @stable ICU 2.0 */ #define ULOC_FULLNAME_CAPACITY 56 #ifndef U_HIDE_DRAFT_API /** * Useful constant for the maximum size of the script part of a locale ID * (including the terminating NULL). * @draft ICU 2.8 */ #define ULOC_SCRIPT_CAPACITY 6 /** * Useful constant for the maximum size of keywords in a locale * @draft ICU 2.8 */ #define ULOC_KEYWORDS_CAPACITY 50 /** * Useful constant for the maximum size of keywords in a locale * @draft ICU 2.8 */ #define ULOC_KEYWORD_AND_VALUES_CAPACITY 100 /** * Character separating keywords from the locale string * different for EBCDIC - TODO * @draft ICU 2.8 */ #define ULOC_KEYWORD_SEPARATOR '@' /** * Character for assigning value to a keyword * @draft ICU 2.8 */ #define ULOC_KEYWORD_ASSIGN '=' /** * Character separating keywords * @draft ICU 2.8 */ #define ULOC_KEYWORD_ITEM_SEPARATOR ';' #endif /*U_HIDE_DRAFT_API*/ /** * Constants for *_getLocale() * Allow user to select whether she wants information on * requested, valid or actual locale. * For example, a collator for "en_US_CALIFORNIA" was * requested.
