  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.
