     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 additonal <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 additonal 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);

    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 serivce 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.
