getCollatorLocales
public static Locale[] getCollatorLocales()
Return an array of all the locales for which there is a
Collator
instance. A new array is returned each time.
getLocaleCount
public static int getLocaleCount()
Return the number of locales we know of.
getLocalizedString
public static String getLocalizedString(Locale inLocale,
String key,
String name,
boolean checkEnglish,
boolean checkRoot)
This method is used by the localized name lookup methods to retrieve
the localized name of a particular piece of locale data.
If the display name can not be localized to the supplied
locale, it will fall back on other output in the following order:
- the localized name in the default locale
- the localized name in English (optional)
- the localized name in the root locale bundle (optional)
- the localized input string
If the supplied key is merely the empty string, then the empty string is
returned.
inLocale
- the locale to use for formatting the display string.key
- the locale data used as a key to the localized lookup tables.name
- the name of the hashtable containing the localized data.checkEnglish
- true if the method should fall back on data
from the English locale.checkRoot
- true if the method should fall back on data from the
unlocalized root locale.
- a
String
, hopefully containing the localized
variant of the input data.
