fallback_locale_names(locale)

View Source (since 2.26.0)

Specs

fallback_locale_names(Cldr.LanguageTag.t() | Cldr.Locale.locale_reference()) ::
  {:ok, [Cldr.Locale.locale_name(), ...]} | {:error, {module(), binary()}}

Returns the list of fallback locale names, starting with the provided locale name.

Fallbacks are a list of locate names which can be used to resolve translation or other localization data if such localised data does not exist for this specific locale. After locale-specific fallbacks are determined, the the default locale and its fallbacks are added to the chain.

Arguments

Returns

  • {:ok, list_of_locale_names} or

  • {:error, {exception, reason}}

Examples

In these examples the default locale is :"en-001".

iex> MyApp.Cldr.Locale.fallback_locale_names(:"fr-CA")
{:ok, [:"fr-CA", :fr, :"en-001", :en]}

# Fallbacks are typically formed by progressively
# stripping variant, territory and script from the
# given locale name. But not always - there are
# certain fallbacks that take a different path.

iex> MyApp.Cldr.Locale.fallback_locale_names(:nb)
{:ok, [:nb, :no, :"en-001", :en]}

fallback_locales(locale)

Specs

fallback_locales(Cldr.LanguageTag.t() | Cldr.Locale.locale_reference()) ::
  {:ok, [Cldr.LanguageTag.t(), ...]} | {:error, {module(), binary()}}

Returns the list of fallback locales, starting with the provided locale name.

Fallbacks are a list of locate names which can be used to resolve translation or other localization data if such localised data does not exist for this specific locale. After locale-specific fallbacks are determined, the the default locale and its fallbacks are added to the chain.

Arguments

Returns

  • {:ok, list_of_locales} or

  • {:error, {exception, reason}}

Examples

In these examples the default locale is :"en-001".

MyApp.Cldr.Locale.fallback_locales(:"fr-CA")
=> {:ok,
     [#Cldr.LanguageTag<fr-CA [validated]>, #Cldr.LanguageTag<fr [validated]>,
      #Cldr.LanguageTag<en [validated]>]}

# Fallbacks are typically formed by progressively
# stripping variant, territory and script from the
# given locale name. But not always - there are
# certain fallbacks that take a different path.

MyApp.Cldr.Locale.fallback_locales(:nb))
=> {:ok,
     [#Cldr.LanguageTag<nb [validated]>, #Cldr.LanguageTag<no [validated]>,
      #Cldr.LanguageTag<en [validated]>]}

locale_for_territory(territory)

View Source (since 2.26.0)

Specs

locale_for_territory(Cldr.Locale.territory_code()) ::
  {:ok, Cldr.LanguageTag.t()} | {:error, {module(), String.t()}}

Returns the "best fit" locale for a given territory.

Using the population percentage data from CLDR, the language most commonly spoken in the given territory is used to form a locale name which is then validated against the given backend.

First a territory-specific locale is validated and if that fails, the base language only is validate.

For example, if the territory is AU then then the language most spoken is "en". First, the locale "en-AU" is validated and if that fails, "en" is validated.

Arguments

Returns

  • {:ok, language_tag} or

  • {:error, {exception, reason}}

Examples

iex> MyApp.Cldr.Locale.locale_for_territory(:AU) Elixir.MyApp.Cldr.validate_locale(:"en-AU")

iex> MyApp.Cldr.Locale.locale_for_territory(:US) Elixir.MyApp.Cldr.validate_locale(:"en-US")

iex> MyApp.Cldr.Locale.locale_for_territory(:ZZ) {:error, {Cldr.UnknownTerritoryError, "The territory :ZZ is unknown"}}

locale_from_host(host, options \\ [])

View Source (since 2.26.0)

Specs

locale_from_host(String.t(), Keyword.t()) ::
  {:ok, Cldr.LanguageTag.t()} | {:error, {module(), String.t()}}

Returns a "best fit" locale for a host name.

Arguments

  • host is any valid host name

  • options is a keyword list of options. The default is [].

Options

  • :tlds is a list of territory codes as upper-cased atoms that are to be considered as top-level domains. See Cldr.Locale.locale_from_host/2 for the default list.

Returns

  • {:ok, langauge_tag} or

  • {:error, {exception, reason}}

Notes

Certain top-level domains have become associated with content underlated to the territory for who the domain is registered. Therefore Google (and perhaps others) do not associate these TLDs as belonging to the territory but rather are considered generic top-level domain names.

Examples

iex> MyApp.Cldr.Locale.locale_from_host "a.b.com.au"
Elixir.MyApp.Cldr.validate_locale(:"en-AU")

iex> MyApp.Cldr.Locale.locale_from_host("a.b.com.tv")
{:error,
 {Cldr.UnknownLocaleError, "No locale was identified for territory \"tv\""}}

iex> MyApp.Cldr.Locale.locale_from_host("a.b.com")
{:error,
 {Cldr.UnknownLocaleError, "No locale was identified for territory \"com\""}}

View Source (since 2.26.0)

Specs

territory_from_host(String.t()) ::
  {:ok, Cldr.Locale.territory_code()} | {:error, {module(), String.t()}}

Returns the last segment of a host that might be a territory.

Arguments

  • host is any valid host name

Returns

  • {:ok, territory} or

  • {:error, {exception, reason}}

Examples

iex> Cldr.Locale.territory_from_host("a.b.com.au")
{:ok, :AU}

iex> Cldr.Locale.territory_from_host("a.b.com")
{:error,
 {Cldr.UnknownLocaleError, "No locale was identified for territory \"com\""}}
