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

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

Arguments

• locale_name is any locale name returned by MyApp.Cldr.known_locale_names/0

returns

Returns

• {:ok, list_of_locale_names} or

• {:error, {exception, reason}}

examples

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]}

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

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

• locale_name is any locale name returned by MyApp.Cldr.known_locale_names/0

returns

Returns

• {:ok, list_of_locales} or

examples

Examples

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

=> {:ok,
     [#Cldr.LanguageTag<fr-CA [validated]>, #Cldr.LanguageTag<fr [validated]>,
      #Cldr.LanguageTag<en [validated]>]}

@spec 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

Arguments

• territory is any ISO 3166 Alpha-2 territory code that can be validated by Cldr.validate_territory/1

returns

Returns

• {:ok, language_tag} or

• {:error, {exception, reason}}

examples

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"}}

@spec 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

Arguments

• host is any valid host name

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

options

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

Returns

• {:ok, langauge_tag} or

• {:error, {exception, reason}}

notes

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.
