* PluralFormat supports the creation of internationalized * messages with plural inflection. It is based on plural * selection, i.e. the caller specifies messages for each * plural case that can appear in the user's language and the * PluralFormat selects the appropriate message based on * the number. *

The Problem of Plural Forms in Internationalized Messages

*

* Different languages have different ways to inflect * plurals. Creating internationalized messages that include plural * forms is only feasible when the framework is able to handle plural * forms of all languages correctly. ChoiceFormat * doesn't handle this well, because it attaches a number interval to * each message and selects the message whose interval contains a * given number. This can only handle a finite number of * intervals. But in some languages, like Polish, one plural case * applies to infinitely many intervals (e.g., the plural case applies to * numbers ending with 2, 3, or 4 except those ending with 12, 13, or * 14). Thus ChoiceFormat is not adequate. *

* PluralFormat deals with this by breaking the problem * into two parts: *

*

*

Usage of PluralFormat

*

Note: Typically, plural formatting is done via MessageFormat * with a plural argument type, * rather than using a stand-alone PluralFormat. *

* This discussion assumes that you use PluralFormat with * a predefined set of plural rules. You can create one using one of * the constructors that takes a locale object. To * specify the message pattern, you can either pass it to the * constructor or set it explicitly using the * applyPattern() method. The format() * method takes a number object and selects the message of the * matching plural case. This message will be returned. *

*
Patterns and Their Interpretation
*

* The pattern text defines the message output for each plural case of the * specified locale. Syntax: *

 * pluralStyle = [offsetValue] (selector '{' message '}')+
 * offsetValue = "offset:" number
 * selector = explicitValue | keyword
 * explicitValue = '=' number  // adjacent, no white space in between
 * keyword = [^[[:Pattern_Syntax:][:Pattern_White_Space:]]]+
 * message: see {@link MessageFormat}
 * 
* Pattern_White_Space between syntax elements is ignored, except * between the {curly braces} and their sub-message, * and between the '=' and the number of an explicitValue. * *

* There are 6 predefined casekeyword in CLDR/ICU - 'zero', 'one', 'two', 'few', 'many' and * 'other'. You always have to define a message text for the default plural case * other which is contained in every rule set. * If you do not specify a message text for a particular plural case, the * message text of the plural case other gets assigned to this * plural case. *

* When formatting, the input number is first matched against the explicitValue clauses. * If there is no exact-number match, then a keyword is selected by calling * the PluralRules with the input number minus the offset. * (The offset defaults to 0 if it is omitted from the pattern string.) * If there is no clause with that keyword, then the "other" clauses is returned. *

* An unquoted pound sign (#) in the selected sub-message * itself (i.e., outside of arguments nested in the sub-message) * is replaced by the input number minus the offset. * The number-minus-offset value is formatted using a * NumberFormat for the PluralFormat's locale. If you * need special number formatting, you have to use a MessageFormat * and explicitly specify a NumberFormat argument. * Note: That argument is formatting without subtracting the offset! * If you need a custom format and have a non-zero offset, then you need to pass the * number-minus-offset value as a separate parameter. *

* For a usage example, see the {@link MessageFormat} class documentation. * *

Defining Custom Plural Rules

*

If you need to use PluralFormat with custom rules, you can * create a PluralRules object and pass it to * PluralFormat's constructor. If you also specify a locale in this * constructor, this locale will be used to format the number in the message * texts. *

* For more information about PluralRules, see * {@link PluralRules}. *
