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.
+ * \htmlonly
\endhtmlonly + *\endhtmlonly + * 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 + *+ * \htmlonly
+ * 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:
+ * \htmlonly
\endhtmlonly + *\endhtmlonly + * + *+ * \code + * ULOC_US + * \endcode + *+ * \htmlonly
+ * 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.
+ *
\endhtmlonly + *\endhtmlonly + * Each of these methods has two variants; one with an explicit locale + * and one without; the latter using the default locale. + * \htmlonly+ * \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 + *+ * \htmlonly
\endhtmlonly + *\endhtmlonly + * 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 + *+ * \htmlonly
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: + * \htmlonly
\endhtmlonly + *\endhtmlonly + *+ * \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 + *+ * \htmlonly
+ * 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 and all keywords). + * @stable ICU 2.0 + */ +#define ULOC_FULLNAME_CAPACITY 157 + +/** + * Useful constant for the maximum size of the script part of a locale ID + * (including the terminating NULL). + * @stable ICU 2.8 + */ +#define ULOC_SCRIPT_CAPACITY 6 + +/** + * Useful constant for the maximum size of keywords in a locale + * @stable ICU 2.8 + */ +#define ULOC_KEYWORDS_CAPACITY 50 + +/** + * Useful constant for the maximum total size of keywords and their values in a locale + * @stable ICU 2.8 + */ +#define ULOC_KEYWORD_AND_VALUES_CAPACITY 100 + +/** + * Invariant character separating keywords from the locale string + * @stable ICU 2.8 + */ +#define ULOC_KEYWORD_SEPARATOR '@' + +/** + * Unicode code point for '@' separating keywords from the locale string. + * @see ULOC_KEYWORD_SEPARATOR + * @stable ICU 4.6 + */ +#define ULOC_KEYWORD_SEPARATOR_UNICODE 0x40 + +/** + * Invariant character for assigning value to a keyword + * @stable ICU 2.8 + */ +#define ULOC_KEYWORD_ASSIGN '=' + +/** + * Unicode code point for '=' for assigning value to a keyword. + * @see ULOC_KEYWORD_ASSIGN + * @stable ICU 4.6 + */ +#define ULOC_KEYWORD_ASSIGN_UNICODE 0x3D + +/** + * Invariant character separating keywords + * @stable ICU 2.8 + */ +#define ULOC_KEYWORD_ITEM_SEPARATOR ';' + +/** + * Unicode code point for ';' separating keywords + * @see ULOC_KEYWORD_ITEM_SEPARATOR + * @stable ICU 4.6 + */ +#define ULOC_KEYWORD_ITEM_SEPARATOR_UNICODE 0x3B + +/** + * 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.
