* 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.
*
* 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:
*
PluralRules
that can define more complex
* conditions for a plural case than just a single interval. These plural
* rules define both what plural cases exist in a language, and to
* which numbers these cases apply.
* 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.
*
* 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.
*
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}.
