    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

    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.

   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

   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:

   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.
