+ *
+ * Different languages have different ways to inflect
+ * plurals. Creating internationalized messages that include plural
+ * forms is only feasible when the framework is able to handle plural
+ * forms of all languages correctly.
+ * PluralFormat
supports the creation of internationalized
+ * messages with plural inflection. It is based on plural
+ * selection, i.e. the caller specifies messages for each
+ * plural case that can appear in the user's language and the
+ * PluralFormat
selects the appropriate message based on
+ * the number.
+ * The Problem of Plural Forms in Internationalized Messages
+ * ChoiceFormat
+ * doesn't handle this well, because it attaches a number interval to
+ * each message and selects the message whose interval contains a
+ * given number. This can only handle a finite number of
+ * intervals. But in some languages, like Polish, one plural case
+ * applies to infinitely many intervals (e.g., the plural case applies to
+ * numbers ending with 2, 3, or 4 except those ending with 12, 13, or
+ * 14). Thus ChoiceFormat
is not adequate.
+ * PluralFormat
deals with this by breaking the problem
+ * into two parts:
+ *
+ *
+ * PluralRules
that can define more complex
+ * conditions for a plural case than just a single interval. These plural
+ * rules define both what plural cases exist in a language, and to
+ * which numbers these cases apply.
+ *
PluralFormat
Note: Typically, plural formatting is done via MessageFormat
+ * with a plural
argument type,
+ * rather than using a stand-alone PluralFormat
.
+ *
+ * This discussion assumes that you use PluralFormat
with
+ * a predefined set of plural rules. You can create one using one of
+ * the constructors that takes a locale
object. To
+ * specify the message pattern, you can either pass it to the
+ * constructor or set it explicitly using the
+ * applyPattern()
method. The format()
+ * method takes a number object and selects the message of the
+ * matching plural case. This message will be returned.
+ *
+ * The pattern text defines the message output for each plural case of the + * specified locale. Syntax: + *
+ * pluralStyle = [offsetValue] (selector '{' message '}')+ + * offsetValue = "offset:" number + * selector = explicitValue | keyword + * explicitValue = '=' number // adjacent, no white space in between + * keyword = [^[[:Pattern_Syntax:][:Pattern_White_Space:]]]+ + * message: see {@link MessageFormat} + *+ * Pattern_White_Space between syntax elements is ignored, except + * between the {curly braces} and their sub-message, + * and between the '=' and the number of an explicitValue. + * + *
+ * There are 6 predefined casekeyword in CLDR/ICU - 'zero', 'one', 'two', 'few', 'many' and
+ * 'other'. You always have to define a message text for the default plural case
+ * other
which is contained in every rule set.
+ * If you do not specify a message text for a particular plural case, the
+ * message text of the plural case other
gets assigned to this
+ * plural case.
+ *
+ * When formatting, the input number is first matched against the explicitValue clauses.
+ * If there is no exact-number match, then a keyword is selected by calling
+ * the PluralRules
with the input number minus the offset.
+ * (The offset defaults to 0 if it is omitted from the pattern string.)
+ * If there is no clause with that keyword, then the "other" clauses is returned.
+ *
+ * An unquoted pound sign (#
) in the selected sub-message
+ * itself (i.e., outside of arguments nested in the sub-message)
+ * is replaced by the input number minus the offset.
+ * The number-minus-offset value is formatted using a
+ * NumberFormat
for the PluralFormat
's locale. If you
+ * need special number formatting, you have to use a MessageFormat
+ * and explicitly specify a NumberFormat
argument.
+ * Note: That argument is formatting without subtracting the offset!
+ * If you need a custom format and have a non-zero offset, then you need to pass the
+ * number-minus-offset value as a separate parameter.
+ *
If you need to use PluralFormat
with custom rules, you can
+ * create a PluralRules
object and pass it to
+ * PluralFormat
's constructor. If you also specify a locale in this
+ * constructor, this locale will be used to format the number in the message
+ * texts.
+ *
+ * For more information about PluralRules
, see
+ * {@link PluralRules}.
