31 * \brief C API: Locale
32 *
33 * <h2> ULoc C API for Locale </h2>
34 * A <code>Locale</code> represents a specific geographical, political,
35 * or cultural region. An operation that requires a <code>Locale</code> to perform
36 * its task is called <em>locale-sensitive</em> and uses the <code>Locale</code>
37 * to tailor information for the user. For example, displaying a number
38 * is a locale-sensitive operation--the number should be formatted
39 * according to the customs/conventions of the user's native country,
40 * region, or culture. In the C APIs, a locales is simply a const char string.
41 *
42 * <P>
43 * You create a <code>Locale</code> with one of the three options listed below.
44 * Each of the component is separated by '_' in the locale string.
45 * \htmlonly<blockquote>\endhtmlonly
46 * <pre>
47 * \code
48 * newLanguage
49 *
50 * newLanguage + newCountry
51 *
52 * newLanguage + newCountry + newVariant
53 * \endcode
54 * </pre>
55 * \htmlonly</blockquote>\endhtmlonly
56 * The first option is a valid <STRONG>ISO
57 * Language Code.</STRONG> These codes are the lower-case two-letter
58 * codes as defined by ISO-639.
59 * You can find a full list of these codes at a number of sites, such as:
60 * <BR><a href ="http://www.ics.uci.edu/pub/ietf/http/related/iso639.txt">
61 * http://www.ics.uci.edu/pub/ietf/http/related/iso639.txt</a>
62 *
63 * <P>
64 * The second option includes an additional <STRONG>ISO Country
65 * Code.</STRONG> These codes are the upper-case two-letter codes
66 * as defined by ISO-3166.
67 * You can find a full list of these codes at a number of sites, such as:
68 * <BR><a href="http://www.chemie.fu-berlin.de/diverse/doc/ISO_3166.html">
69 * http://www.chemie.fu-berlin.de/diverse/doc/ISO_3166.html</a>
70 *
71 * <P>
72 * The third option requires another additional information--the
73 * <STRONG>Variant.</STRONG>
74 * The Variant codes are vendor and browser-specific.
75 * For example, use WIN for Windows, MAC for Macintosh, and POSIX for POSIX.
76 * Where there are two variants, separate them with an underscore, and
77 * put the most important one first. For
78 * example, a Traditional Spanish collation might be referenced, with
79 * "ES", "ES", "Traditional_WIN".
80 *
81 * <P>
82 * Because a <code>Locale</code> is just an identifier for a region,
83 * no validity check is performed when you specify a <code>Locale</code>.
84 * If you want to see whether particular resources are available for the
85 * <code>Locale</code> you asked for, you must query those resources. For
86 * example, ask the <code>UNumberFormat</code> for the locales it supports
87 * using its <code>getAvailable</code> method.
88 * <BR><STRONG>Note:</STRONG> When you ask for a resource for a particular
89 * locale, you get back the best available match, not necessarily
90 * precisely what you asked for. For more information, look at
91 * <code>UResourceBundle</code>.
92 *
93 * <P>
94 * The <code>Locale</code> provides a number of convenient constants
95 * that you can use to specify the commonly used
96 * locales. For example, the following refers to a locale
97 * for the United States:
98 * \htmlonly<blockquote>\endhtmlonly
99 * <pre>
100 * \code
101 * ULOC_US
102 * \endcode
103 * </pre>
104 * \htmlonly</blockquote>\endhtmlonly
105 *
106 * <P>
107 * Once you've specified a locale you can query it for information about
108 * itself. Use <code>uloc_getCountry</code> to get the ISO Country Code and
109 * <code>uloc_getLanguage</code> to get the ISO Language Code. You can
110 * use <code>uloc_getDisplayCountry</code> to get the
111 * name of the country suitable for displaying to the user. Similarly,
112 * you can use <code>uloc_getDisplayLanguage</code> to get the name of
113 * the language suitable for displaying to the user. Interestingly,
114 * the <code>uloc_getDisplayXXX</code> methods are themselves locale-sensitive
115 * and have two versions: one that uses the default locale and one
116 * that takes a locale as an argument and displays the name or country in
117 * a language appropriate to that locale.
118 *
119 * <P>
120 * The ICU provides a number of services that perform locale-sensitive
121 * operations. For example, the <code>unum_xxx</code> functions format
122 * numbers, currency, or percentages in a locale-sensitive manner.
123 * </P>
124 * \htmlonly<blockquote>\endhtmlonly
125 * <pre>
126 * \code
127 * UErrorCode success = U_ZERO_ERROR;
128 * UNumberFormat *nf;
129 * const char* myLocale = "fr_FR";
130 *
131 * nf = unum_open( UNUM_DEFAULT, NULL, success );
132 * unum_close(nf);
133 * nf = unum_open( UNUM_CURRENCY, NULL, success );
134 * unum_close(nf);
135 * nf = unum_open( UNUM_PERCENT, NULL, success );
136 * unum_close(nf);
137 * \endcode
138 * </pre>
139 * \htmlonly</blockquote>\endhtmlonly
140 * Each of these methods has two variants; one with an explicit locale
141 * and one without; the latter using the default locale.
142 * \htmlonly<blockquote>\endhtmlonly
143 * <pre>
144 * \code
145 *
146 * nf = unum_open( UNUM_DEFAULT, myLocale, success );
147 * unum_close(nf);
148 * nf = unum_open( UNUM_CURRENCY, myLocale, success );
149 * unum_close(nf);
150 * nf = unum_open( UNUM_PERCENT, myLocale, success );
151 * unum_close(nf);
152 * \endcode
153 * </pre>
154 * \htmlonly</blockquote>\endhtmlonly
155 * A <code>Locale</code> is the mechanism for identifying the kind of services
156 * (<code>UNumberFormat</code>) that you would like to get. The locale is
157 * <STRONG>just</STRONG> a mechanism for identifying these services.
158 *
159 * <P>
160 * Each international service that performs locale-sensitive operations
161 * allows you
162 * to get all the available objects of that type. You can sift
163 * through these objects by language, country, or variant,
164 * and use the display names to present a menu to the user.
165 * For example, you can create a menu of all the collation objects
166 * suitable for a given language. Such classes implement these
167 * three class methods:
168 * \htmlonly<blockquote>\endhtmlonly
169 * <pre>
170 * \code
171 * const char* uloc_getAvailable(int32_t index);
172 * int32_t uloc_countAvailable();
173 * int32_t
174 * uloc_getDisplayName(const char* localeID,
175 * const char* inLocaleID,
176 * UChar* result,
177 * int32_t maxResultSize,
178 * UErrorCode* err);
179 *
180 * \endcode
181 * </pre>
182 * \htmlonly</blockquote>\endhtmlonly
183 * <P>
184 * Concerning POSIX/RFC1766 Locale IDs,
185 * the getLanguage/getCountry/getVariant/getName functions do understand
186 * the POSIX type form of language_COUNTRY.ENCODING\@VARIANT
187 * and if there is not an ICU-stype variant, uloc_getVariant() for example
188 * will return the one listed after the \@at sign. As well, the hyphen
189 * "-" is recognized as a country/variant separator similarly to RFC1766.
190 * So for example, "en-us" will be interpreted as en_US.
191 * As a result, uloc_getName() is far from a no-op, and will have the
192 * effect of converting POSIX/RFC1766 IDs into ICU form, although it does
193 * NOT map any of the actual codes (i.e. russian->ru) in any way.
194 * Applications should call uloc_getName() at the point where a locale ID
195 * is coming from an external source (user entry, OS, web browser)
196 * and pass the resulting string to other ICU functions. For example,
197 * don't use de-de\@EURO as an argument to resourcebundle.
