Methods' Details
create
::com::sun::star::lang::Locale create( | [in] string [in] string [in] string | aLanguage, aCountry, aVariant );
Description creates a locale from language, country, and variant. NOTE: ISO 639 is not a stable standard; some of the language codes it defines (specifically iw, ji, and in) have changed. This constructor accepts both the old codes (iw, ji, and in) and the new codes (he, yi, and id), but all other API on XLocale will return only the NEW codes. Note: The Java class`Locale` returns the old codes.
getDefault
::com::sun::star::lang::Locale getDefault(); |  |
Description the common method of getting the current default locale. It is used for the presentation (for menus, dialogs, etc.). It is, generally, set once when your applet or application is initialized, then never reset. (If you do reset the default locale, you probably want to reload your GUI, so that the change is reflected in your interface.) More advanced programs allow users to use different locales for different fields, for example, in a spreadsheet. Note that the initial setting will match the host system.
setDefault
void setDefault( | [in] ::com::sun::star::lang::Locale | newLocale );
Description sets the default locale for the whole environment. It is normally set once at the beginning of an application, then never reset.`setDefault` does not reset the host locale.
getAvailableLocales
sequence< ::com::sun::star::lang::Locale > getAvailableLocales(); |  |
Returns a sequence of all locales which are available in the system.
getISOCountries
sequence< string > getISOCountries(); |  |
Returns a sequence of all ISO country codes known to the component.
getISOLanguages
sequence< string > getISOLanguages(); |  |
Returns a sequence of all ISO language codes known to the component.
getLanguagesForCountry
sequence< string > getLanguagesForCountry( | [in] string | country );
Returns a sequence for language codes which are valid within the given country.
getISO3Language
string getISO3Language( | [in] ::com::sun::star::lang::Locale raises( | locale ) MissingResourceException );
Returns the ISO language code for the specified locale.
getISO3Country
string getISO3Country( | [in] ::com::sun::star::lang::Locale raises( | locale ) MissingResourceException );
Returns the ISO country code for the specified locale.
getDisplayLanguage_Default
string getDisplayLanguage_Default( | [in] ::com::sun::star::lang::Locale | locale );
Returns language code for display of field to user. If the localized name is not found, returns the ISO code. The desired user language is from the default locale.
getDisplayLanguage
string getDisplayLanguage( | [in] ::com::sun::star::lang::Locale [in] ::com::sun::star::lang::Locale | locale, inLocale );
Returns language code for display of field to user. If the localized name is not found, returns the ISO codes. Parameter inLocale specifies the desired user language. Example "English (UK)", "Deutch", "Germany"
getDisplayCountry_Default
string getDisplayCountry_Default( | [in] ::com::sun::star::lang::Locale | locale );
Returns country code for display of field to user. If the localized name is not found, returns the ISO code. The desired user country is from the default locale.
getDisplayCountry
string getDisplayCountry( | [in] ::com::sun::star::lang::Locale [in] ::com::sun::star::lang::Locale | locale, inLocale );
Returns country code for display of field to user. If the localized name is not found, returns the ISO codes. Parameter inLocale specifies the desired user country.
getDisplayVariant_Default
string getDisplayVariant_Default( | [in] ::com::sun::star::lang::Locale | locale );
Returns variant code for display of field to user. The desired user variant is from the default locale.
getDisplayVariant
string getDisplayVariant( | [in] ::com::sun::star::lang::Locale [in] ::com::sun::star::lang::Locale | locale, inLocale );
Returns variant code for display of field to user. If the localized name is not found, returns the ISO codes. Parameter inLocale specifies the desired user variant.
getDisplayName_Default
string getDisplayName_Default( | [in] ::com::sun::star::lang::Locale | locale );
Returns a string to display the entire locale to user. If the localized name is not found, uses the ISO codes. The default locale is used for the presentation language.
getDisplayName
string getDisplayName( | [in] ::com::sun::star::lang::Locale [in] ::com::sun::star::lang::Locale | locale, inLocale );
Returns a string to display the entire locale to user. If the localized name is not found, uses the ISO codes. Parameter inLocale specifies the desired user locale.
equals
boolean equals( | [in] ::com::sun::star::lang::Locale [in] ::com::sun::star::lang::Locale | l1, l2 );
Returns true if the ::com::sun::star::lang::Locale l1 is equal to the other one. A locale is deemed equal to another locale with identical language, country, and variant, and unequal to all other objects.
