29 * \brief C API: Locale
30 *
31 * <h2> ULoc C API for Locale </h2>
32 * A <code>Locale</code> represents a specific geographical, political,
33 * or cultural region. An operation that requires a <code>Locale</code> to perform
34 * its task is called <em>locale-sensitive</em> and uses the <code>Locale</code>
35 * to tailor information for the user. For example, displaying a number
36 * is a locale-sensitive operation--the number should be formatted
37 * according to the customs/conventions of the user's native country,
38 * region, or culture. In the C APIs, a locales is simply a const char string.
39 *
40 * <P>
41 * You create a <code>Locale</code> with one of the three options listed below.
42 * Each of the component is separated by '_' in the locale string.
43 * \htmlonly<blockquote>\endhtmlonly
44 * <pre>
45 * \code
46 * newLanguage
47 *
48 * newLanguage + newCountry
49 *
50 * newLanguage + newCountry + newVariant
51 * \endcode
52 * </pre>
53 * \htmlonly</blockquote>\endhtmlonly
54 * The first option is a valid <STRONG>ISO
55 * Language Code.</STRONG> These codes are the lower-case two-letter
56 * codes as defined by ISO-639.
57 * You can find a full list of these codes at a number of sites, such as:
58 * <BR><a href ="http://www.ics.uci.edu/pub/ietf/http/related/iso639.txt">
59 * http://www.ics.uci.edu/pub/ietf/http/related/iso639.txt</a>
60 *
61 * <P>
62 * The second option includes an additonal <STRONG>ISO Country
63 * Code.</STRONG> These codes are the upper-case two-letter codes
64 * as defined by ISO-3166.
65 * You can find a full list of these codes at a number of sites, such as:
66 * <BR><a href="http://www.chemie.fu-berlin.de/diverse/doc/ISO_3166.html">
67 * http://www.chemie.fu-berlin.de/diverse/doc/ISO_3166.html</a>
68 *
69 * <P>
70 * The third option requires another additonal information--the
71 * <STRONG>Variant.</STRONG>
72 * The Variant codes are vendor and browser-specific.
73 * For example, use WIN for Windows, MAC for Macintosh, and POSIX for POSIX.
74 * Where there are two variants, separate them with an underscore, and
75 * put the most important one first. For
76 * example, a Traditional Spanish collation might be referenced, with
77 * "ES", "ES", "Traditional_WIN".
78 *
79 * <P>
80 * Because a <code>Locale</code> is just an identifier for a region,
81 * no validity check is performed when you specify a <code>Locale</code>.
82 * If you want to see whether particular resources are available for the
83 * <code>Locale</code> you asked for, you must query those resources. For
84 * example, ask the <code>UNumberFormat</code> for the locales it supports
85 * using its <code>getAvailable</code> method.
86 * <BR><STRONG>Note:</STRONG> When you ask for a resource for a particular
87 * locale, you get back the best available match, not necessarily
88 * precisely what you asked for. For more information, look at
89 * <code>UResourceBundle</code>.
90 *
91 * <P>
92 * The <code>Locale</code> provides a number of convenient constants
93 * that you can use to specify the commonly used
94 * locales. For example, the following refers to a locale
95 * for the United States:
96 * \htmlonly<blockquote>\endhtmlonly
97 * <pre>
98 * \code
99 * ULOC_US
100 * \endcode
101 * </pre>
102 * \htmlonly</blockquote>\endhtmlonly
103 *
104 * <P>
105 * Once you've specified a locale you can query it for information about
106 * itself. Use <code>uloc_getCountry</code> to get the ISO Country Code and
107 * <code>uloc_getLanguage</code> to get the ISO Language Code. You can
108 * use <code>uloc_getDisplayCountry</code> to get the
109 * name of the country suitable for displaying to the user. Similarly,
110 * you can use <code>uloc_getDisplayLanguage</code> to get the name of
111 * the language suitable for displaying to the user. Interestingly,
112 * the <code>uloc_getDisplayXXX</code> methods are themselves locale-sensitive
113 * and have two versions: one that uses the default locale and one
114 * that takes a locale as an argument and displays the name or country in
115 * a language appropriate to that locale.
116 *
117 * <P>
118 * The ICU provides a number of services that perform locale-sensitive
119 * operations. For example, the <code>unum_xxx</code> functions format
120 * numbers, currency, or percentages in a locale-sensitive manner.
121 * </P>
122 * \htmlonly<blockquote>\endhtmlonly
123 * <pre>
124 * \code
125 * UErrorCode success = U_ZERO_ERROR;
126 * UNumberFormat *nf;
127 * const char* myLocale = "fr_FR";
128 *
129 * nf = unum_open( UNUM_DEFAULT, NULL, success );
130 * unum_close(nf);
131 * nf = unum_open( UNUM_CURRENCY, NULL, success );
132 * unum_close(nf);
133 * nf = unum_open( UNUM_PERCENT, NULL, success );
134 * unum_close(nf);
135 * \endcode
136 * </pre>
137 * \htmlonly</blockquote>\endhtmlonly
138 * Each of these methods has two variants; one with an explicit locale
139 * and one without; the latter using the default locale.
140 * \htmlonly<blockquote>\endhtmlonly
141 * <pre>
142 * \code
143 *
144 * nf = unum_open( UNUM_DEFAULT, myLocale, success );
145 * unum_close(nf);
146 * nf = unum_open( UNUM_CURRENCY, myLocale, success );
147 * unum_close(nf);
148 * nf = unum_open( UNUM_PERCENT, myLocale, success );
149 * unum_close(nf);
150 * \endcode
151 * </pre>
152 * \htmlonly</blockquote>\endhtmlonly
153 * A <code>Locale</code> is the mechanism for identifying the kind of services
154 * (<code>UNumberFormat</code>) that you would like to get. The locale is
155 * <STRONG>just</STRONG> a mechanism for identifying these services.
156 *
157 * <P>
158 * Each international serivce that performs locale-sensitive operations
159 * allows you
160 * to get all the available objects of that type. You can sift
161 * through these objects by language, country, or variant,
162 * and use the display names to present a menu to the user.
163 * For example, you can create a menu of all the collation objects
164 * suitable for a given language. Such classes implement these
165 * three class methods:
166 * \htmlonly<blockquote>\endhtmlonly
167 * <pre>
168 * \code
169 * const char* uloc_getAvailable(int32_t index);
170 * int32_t uloc_countAvailable();
171 * int32_t
172 * uloc_getDisplayName(const char* localeID,
173 * const char* inLocaleID,
174 * UChar* result,
175 * int32_t maxResultSize,
176 * UErrorCode* err);
177 *
178 * \endcode
179 * </pre>
180 * \htmlonly</blockquote>\endhtmlonly
181 * <P>
182 * Concerning POSIX/RFC1766 Locale IDs,
183 * the getLanguage/getCountry/getVariant/getName functions do understand
184 * the POSIX type form of language_COUNTRY.ENCODING\@VARIANT
185 * and if there is not an ICU-stype variant, uloc_getVariant() for example
186 * will return the one listed after the \@at sign. As well, the hyphen
187 * "-" is recognized as a country/variant separator similarly to RFC1766.
188 * So for example, "en-us" will be interpreted as en_US.
189 * As a result, uloc_getName() is far from a no-op, and will have the
190 * effect of converting POSIX/RFC1766 IDs into ICU form, although it does
191 * NOT map any of the actual codes (i.e. russian->ru) in any way.
192 * Applications should call uloc_getName() at the point where a locale ID
193 * is coming from an external source (user entry, OS, web browser)
194 * and pass the resulting string to other ICU functions. For example,
195 * don't use de-de\@EURO as an argument to resourcebundle.
196 *
