Locale object 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 and conventions of the user's native country,
* region, or culture.
*
* The {@code Locale} class implements IETF BCP 47 which is composed of * RFC 4647 "Matching of Language * Tags" and RFC 5646 "Tags * for Identifying Languages" with support for the LDML (UTS#35, "Unicode * Locale Data Markup Language") BCP 47-compatible extensions for locale data * exchange. * *
A Locale object logically consists of the fields
* described below.
*
*
Locale always canonicalizes to lower case.[a-zA-Z]{2,8}. Note that this is not the full
* BCP47 language production, since it excludes extlang. They are
* not needed since modern three-letter language codes replace
* them.Locale always canonicalizes to title case (the first
* letter is upper case and the rest of the letters are lower
* case).[a-zA-Z]{4}Locale always canonicalizes to upper case.[a-zA-Z]{2} | [0-9]{3}Locale. Where there are two or more variant values
* each indicating its own semantics, these values should be ordered
* by importance, with most important first, separated by
* underscore('_'). The variant field is case sensitive.However, the variant field in Locale has
* historically been used for any kind of variation, not just
* language variations. For example, some supported variants
* available in Java SE Runtime Environments indicate alternative
* cultural behaviors such as calendar type or number script. In
* BCP 47 this kind of information, which does not identify the
* language, is supported by extension subtags or private use
* subtags.
SUBTAG
* (('_'|'-') SUBTAG)* where SUBTAG =
* [0-9][0-9a-zA-Z]{3} | [0-9a-zA-Z]{5,8}. (Note: BCP 47 only
* uses hyphen ('-') as a delimiter, this is more lenient).Locale implement the semantics and syntax of BCP 47
* extension subtags and private use subtags. The extensions are
* case insensitive, but Locale canonicalizes all
* extension keys and values to lower case. Note that extensions
* cannot have empty values.[0-9a-zA-Z]. Well-formed values have the form
* SUBTAG ('-' SUBTAG)* where for the key 'x'
* SUBTAG = [0-9a-zA-Z]{1,8} and for other keys
* SUBTAG = [0-9a-zA-Z]{2,8} (that is, 'x' allows
* single-character subtags).Locale class
* does not provide any validation features. The Builder
* only checks if an individual field satisfies the syntactic
* requirement (is well-formed), but does not validate the value
* itself. See {@link Builder} for details.
*
* UTS#35, "Unicode Locale Data Markup Language" defines optional * attributes and keywords to override or refine the default behavior * associated with a locale. A keyword is represented by a pair of * key and type. For example, "nu-thai" indicates that Thai local * digits (value:"thai") should be used for formatting numbers * (key:"nu"). * *
The keywords are mapped to a BCP 47 extension value using the * extension key 'u' ({@link #UNICODE_LOCALE_EXTENSION}). The above * example, "nu-thai", becomes the extension "u-nu-thai". * *
Thus, when a Locale object contains Unicode locale
* attributes and keywords,
* getExtension(UNICODE_LOCALE_EXTENSION) will return a
* String representing this information, for example, "nu-thai". The
* Locale class also provides {@link
* #getUnicodeLocaleAttributes}, {@link #getUnicodeLocaleKeys}, and
* {@link #getUnicodeLocaleType} which allow you to access Unicode
* locale attributes and key/type pairs directly. When represented as
* a string, the Unicode Locale Extension lists attributes
* alphabetically, followed by key/type sequences with keys listed
* alphabetically (the order of subtags comprising a key's type is
* fixed when the type is defined)
*
*
A well-formed locale key has the form
* [0-9a-zA-Z]{2}. A well-formed locale type has the
* form "" | [0-9a-zA-Z]{3,8} ('-' [0-9a-zA-Z]{3,8})* (it
* can be empty, or a series of subtags 3-8 alphanums in length). A
* well-formed locale attribute has the form
* [0-9a-zA-Z]{3,8} (it is a single subtag with the same
* form as a locale type subtag).
*
*
The Unicode locale extension specifies optional behavior in * locale-sensitive services. Although the LDML specification defines * various keys and values, actual locale-sensitive service * implementations in a Java Runtime Environment might not support any * particular Unicode locale attributes or key/type pairs. * *
There are several different ways to create a Locale
* object.
*
*
Using {@link Builder} you can construct a Locale object
* that conforms to BCP 47 syntax.
*
*
The Locale class provides three constructors:
*
*
* {@link #Locale(String language)}
* {@link #Locale(String language, String country)}
* {@link #Locale(String language, String country, String variant)}
*
*
* These constructors allow you to create a Locale object
* with language, country and variant, but you cannot specify
* script or extensions.
*
* The method {@link #forLanguageTag} creates a Locale
* object for a well-formed BCP 47 language tag.
*
*
The Locale class provides a number of convenient constants
* that you can use to create Locale objects for commonly used
* locales. For example, the following creates a Locale object
* for the United States:
*
** ** Locale.US **
If an application or a system is internationalized and provides localized * resources for multiple locales, it sometimes needs to find one or more * locales (or language tags) which meet each user's specific preferences. Note * that a term "language tag" is used interchangeably with "locale" in this * locale matching documentation. * *
In order to do matching a user's preferred locales to a set of language * tags, RFC 4647 Matching of * Language Tags defines two mechanisms: filtering and lookup. * Filtering is used to get all matching locales, whereas * lookup is to choose the best matching locale. * Matching is done case-insensitively. These matching mechanisms are described * in the following sections. * *
A user's preference is called a Language Priority List and is * expressed as a list of language ranges. There are syntactically two types of * language ranges: basic and extended. See * {@link Locale.LanguageRange Locale.LanguageRange} for details. * *
The filtering operation returns all matching language tags. It is defined * in RFC 4647 as follows: * "In filtering, each language range represents the least specific language * tag (that is, the language tag with fewest number of subtags) that is an * acceptable match. All of the language tags in the matching set of tags will * have an equal or greater number of subtags than the language range. Every * non-wildcard subtag in the language range will appear in every one of the * matching language tags." * *
There are two types of filtering: filtering for basic language ranges * (called "basic filtering") and filtering for extended language ranges * (called "extended filtering"). They may return different results by what * kind of language ranges are included in the given Language Priority List. * {@link Locale.FilteringMode} is a parameter to specify how filtering should * be done. * *
The lookup operation returns the best matching language tags. It is * defined in RFC 4647 as follows: * "By contrast with filtering, each language range represents the most * specific tag that is an acceptable match. The first matching tag found, * according to the user's priority, is considered the closest match and is the * item returned." * *
For example, if a Language Priority List consists of two language ranges, * {@code "zh-Hant-TW"} and {@code "en-US"}, in prioritized order, lookup * method progressively searches the language tags below in order to find the * best matching language tag. *
** If there is a language tag which matches completely to a language range * above, the language tag is returned. * ** 1. zh-Hant-TW * 2. zh-Hant * 3. zh * 4. en-US * 5. en **
{@code "*"} is the special language range, and it is ignored in lookup. * *
If multiple language tags match as a result of the subtag {@code '*'} * included in a language range, the first matching language tag returned by * an {@link Iterator} over a {@link Collection} of language tags is treated as * the best matching one. * *
Once you've created a Locale you can query it for information
* about itself. Use getCountry to get the country (or region)
* code and getLanguage to get the language code.
* You can use getDisplayCountry to get the
* name of the country suitable for displaying to the user. Similarly,
* you can use getDisplayLanguage to get the name of
* the language suitable for displaying to the user. Interestingly,
* the getDisplayXXX methods are themselves locale-sensitive
* and have two versions: one that uses the default
* {@link Locale.Category#DISPLAY DISPLAY} locale and one
* that uses the locale specified as an argument.
*
*
The Java Platform provides a number of classes that perform locale-sensitive
* operations. For example, the NumberFormat class formats
* numbers, currency, and percentages in a locale-sensitive manner. Classes
* such as NumberFormat have several convenience methods
* for creating a default object of that type. For example, the
* NumberFormat class provides these three convenience methods
* for creating a default NumberFormat object:
*
** Each of these methods has two variants; one with an explicit locale * and one without; the latter uses the default * {@link Locale.Category#FORMAT FORMAT} locale: ** NumberFormat.getInstance() * NumberFormat.getCurrencyInstance() * NumberFormat.getPercentInstance() **
** A* NumberFormat.getInstance(myLocale) * NumberFormat.getCurrencyInstance(myLocale) * NumberFormat.getPercentInstance(myLocale) **
Locale is the mechanism for identifying the kind of object
* (NumberFormat) that you would like to get. The locale is
* just a mechanism for identifying objects,
* not a container for the objects themselves.
*
* In order to maintain compatibility with existing usage, Locale's
* constructors retain their behavior prior to the Java Runtime
* Environment version 1.7. The same is largely true for the
* toString method. Thus Locale objects can continue to
* be used as they were. In particular, clients who parse the output
* of toString into language, country, and variant fields can continue
* to do so (although this is strongly discouraged), although the
* variant field will have additional information in it if script or
* extensions are present.
*
*
In addition, BCP 47 imposes syntax restrictions that are not
* imposed by Locale's constructors. This means that conversions
* between some Locales and BCP 47 language tags cannot be made without
* losing information. Thus toLanguageTag cannot
* represent the state of locales whose language, country, or variant
* do not conform to BCP 47.
*
*
Because of these issues, it is recommended that clients migrate
* away from constructing non-conforming locales and use the
* forLanguageTag and Locale.Builder APIs instead.
* Clients desiring a string representation of the complete locale can
* then always rely on toLanguageTag for this purpose.
*
*
For compatibility reasons, two * non-conforming locales are treated as special cases. These are * {@code ja_JP_JP} and {@code th_TH_TH}. These are ill-formed * in BCP 47 since the variants are too short. To ease migration to BCP 47, * these are treated specially during construction. These two cases (and only * these) cause a constructor to generate an extension, all other values behave * exactly as they did prior to Java 7. * *
Java has used {@code ja_JP_JP} to represent Japanese as used in * Japan together with the Japanese Imperial calendar. This is now * representable using a Unicode locale extension, by specifying the * Unicode locale key {@code ca} (for "calendar") and type * {@code japanese}. When the Locale constructor is called with the * arguments "ja", "JP", "JP", the extension "u-ca-japanese" is * automatically added. * *
Java has used {@code th_TH_TH} to represent Thai as used in * Thailand together with Thai digits. This is also now representable using * a Unicode locale extension, by specifying the Unicode locale key * {@code nu} (for "number") and value {@code thai}. When the Locale * constructor is called with the arguments "th", "TH", "TH", the * extension "u-nu-thai" is automatically added. * *
During serialization, writeObject writes all fields to the output * stream, including extensions. * *
During deserialization, readResolve adds extensions as described * in Special Cases, only * for the two cases th_TH_TH and ja_JP_JP. * *
Locale's constructor has always converted three language codes to * their earlier, obsoleted forms: {@code he} maps to {@code iw}, * {@code yi} maps to {@code ji}, and {@code id} maps to * {@code in}. This continues to be the case, in order to not break * backwards compatibility. * *
The APIs added in 1.7 map between the old and new language codes,
* maintaining the old codes internal to Locale (so that
* getLanguage and toString reflect the old
* code), but using the new codes in the BCP 47 language tag APIs (so
* that toLanguageTag reflects the new one). This
* preserves the equivalence between Locales no matter which code or
* API is used to construct them. Java's default resource bundle
* lookup mechanism also implements this mapping, so that resources
* can be named using either convention, see {@link ResourceBundle.Control}.
*
*
The Locale constructors have always specified that the language
* and the country param be two characters in length, although in
* practice they have accepted any length. The specification has now
* been relaxed to allow language codes of two to eight characters and
* country (region) codes of two to three characters, and in
* particular, three-letter language codes and three-digit region
* codes as specified in the IANA Language Subtag Registry. For
* compatibility, the implementation still does not impose a length
* constraint.

*
* The {@code ranges} to be given can take one of the following

*
* Unlike a weighted list, language ranges in a prioritized list
* are sorted in the descending order based on its priority. The first
* language range has the highest priority and meets the user's

*
* In either case, language ranges are sorted in descending order in

* language range appears in the given {@code ranges} more than once,
* only the first one is included on the Language Priority List.
*
* The returned list consists of language ranges from the given
* {@code ranges} and their equivalents found in the IANA Language
* Subtag Registry. For example, if the given {@code ranges} is
* {@code "Accept-Language: iw,en-us;q=0.7,en;q=0.3"}, the elements in
* the list to be returned are:
*
* In the map, a key represents a language range whereas a value is
* a list of equivalents of it. {@code '*'} cannot be used in the map.
* Each equivalent language range has the same weight value as its
* original language range.
*
* For example, if a user's Language Priority List consists of five
* language ranges ({@code "zh"}, {@code "zh-CN"}, {@code "en"},
* {@code "zh-TW"}, and {@code "zh-HK"}), the newly generated Language
* Priority List which is customized using the above map example will
* consists of {@code "zh"}, {@code "zh-Hans"}, {@code "zh-CN"},
* {@code "zh-Hans-CN"}, {@code "en"}, {@code "zh-TW"}, and

*
* {@code "zh-HK"} and {@code "zh-TW"} aren't converted to
* {@code "zh-Hans-HK"} nor {@code "zh-Hans-TW"} even if they are
* included in the Language Priority List. In this example, mapping
* is used to clearly distinguish Simplified Chinese and Traditional
* Chinese.
*
* If the {@code "zh"}-to-{@code "zh"} mapping isn't included in the
