@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.

locale_name

# Fallbacks are typically formed by progressively

# certain fallbacks that take a different path.

@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 byCldr.validate_territory/1

Returns
{:ok, language_tag}

@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 nameoptions
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. SeeCldr.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.
