=head1 NAME

Locales - Methods for getting localized CLDR language/territory names (and a subset of other data)

=head1 VERSION

This document describes Locales version 0.23

=head1 SYNOPSIS

    use Locales;

    my $locale = Locales->new('en_gb');
    
    print $locale->get_locale(); # 'en_gb'
    print $locale->get_language(); # 'en'
    print $locale->get_territory(); # 'gb'
    
    print $locale->get_language_from_code('fr'); # 'French'
    print $locale->get_code_from_language('French'); # 'fr'
    
    print $locale->get_territory_from_code('us'); # 'United States'
    print $locale->get_code_from_territory('Australia'); # 'au'

=head1 DESCRIPTION

Locales lets you create an object for a certain locale that lets you access certain data harvested directly from CLDR.

L<http://cldr.unicode.org/index/downloads>

Currently the data/methods include translated locale names and territory names.

For simplicity Locales does not work with or know about Variants or Scripts. It only knows about languages and territories.

Also it does not conatin all the data contained in CLDR. For example, L<DateTime>'s localization already has all the calender/date/time info from CLDR. Other information has not had any demand yet.

For consistency all data is written in utf-8. No conversion should be necessary if you are (wisely) using utf-8 as your character set everywhere (See L<http://drmuey.com\/?do=page&id=57> for more info on that.).

Note: You probably [don't need to/should not] use L<utf8> in regards to the data contained herein.

=head1 Based on CLDR 2.0

You can learn about the Unicode Common Locale Data Repository at L<http://cldr.unicode.org/>

=head1 INTERFACE 

=head2 new()

Takes one argument, the locale tag whose CLDR data you want to use.

No argument defaults to 'en'.

It is an argument based singleton so you can call it more than once with out it having to rebuild the object everytime.

It returns false if a locale given is not vailable. $@ should have been set at that point by eval.

    my $en = Locales->new('en') or die $@;

=head2 Object methods

=head3 Misc methods

=over 4

=item get_cldr_version()

Takes no arguments.

Returns the version of the CLDR any data it uses comes from. Can also be called as a class method or function.

=item get_locale()

Takes no arguments.

Returns the normalized locale of the object, this is the same as the argument to new()

=item get_language()

Takes no arguments.

Returns the language portion of the object's locale.

=item get_territory()

Takes no arguments.

Returns the territory portion of the object's locale if any (e.g. 'en_au'), undef if there is none (e.g. 'it').

=item numf()

Note: As of v0.17 you probably want L</get_formatted_decimal()> instead of numf().

Takes one optional boolean argument.

Returns 1 if the object's locale's number format is comma for thousand separator, period for decimal.

Returns 2  if the object's locale's number format is period for thousand separator, comma for decimal.

Otherwise it returns a reference to a 3 element array containing this CLDR data: number format, separator character, decimal character.

The boolean argument, when true will do it's best to determine and return a 1 or a 2.

=back

=head3 Territory methods

=over 4

=item get_territory_codes()

Take no arguments. 

Returns an unsorted list of known territory codes.

=item get_territory_names()

Take no arguments. 

Returns an unsorted list of the display names for each known territory code.

=item get_territory_from_code()

Takes one argument, the locale code whose territory name you want to find. Defaults to the territory of the of object's locale, if any.

Returns the name of the given tag's territory or, if not found, the territory portion (if any), returns false otherwise.

An optional second argument, when true, will force it to return the normalized tag if nothing else can be figured out.

=item get_code_from_territory()

Takes one argument, the territory name whose locale you want to find.

Returns the locale tag if found, false otherwise.

=item code2territory()

Alias for get_territory_from_code()

=item territory2code()

Alias for get_code_from_territory()

=back

=head3 Language Methods

=over 4

=item get_language_codes()

Take no arguments. 

Returns an unsorted list of known language codes.

=item get_language_names()

Take no arguments. 

Returns an unsorted list of the display names for each known language code.

=item get_language_from_code()

Takes one argument, the locale code whose language name you want to find. Defaults to the object's locale.

Returns the name of the given tag's language, returns false otherwise.

An optional second argument, when true, will force it to return a properly formatted CLDR format display based on if we know the langauge and/or territory if nothing else can be figured out.

=item get_code_from_language()

Takes one argument, the language name whose locale you want to find.

Returns the locale tag if found, false otherwise.

=item get_native_language_from_code()

Like get_language_from_code() except it returns the name in the given locale's native language.

=item get_character_orientation_from_code()

Like get_language_from_code() except it returns the character orientation identifier for the given locale. (defaulting to the locale of the object if non is given)

Typically it will be the string 'left-to-right' or 'right-to-left'.

See L<http://unicode.org/repos/cldr-tmp/trunk/diff/by_type/misc.layout.html> for more information.

=item get_character_orientation_from_code_fast()

Same as get_character_orientation_from_code() except it should use less-overhead. Can be called as a function also so you can use it without creating an object.

=item get_locale_display_pattern_from_code()

Like get_character_orientation_from_code() except it returns the locale display pattern for the given locale. (defaulting to the locale of the object if non is given)

Typically it will be something like '{0} ({1})'

See L<http://unicode.org/repos/cldr-tmp/trunk/diff/by_type/names.localeDisplayPattern.html> for more information.

=item get_locale_display_pattern_from_code_fast()

Same as get_locale_display_pattern_from_code() except it should use less-overhead. Can be called as a function also so you can use it without creating an object.

=item get_plural_form()

Takes a number and returns the plural category that the number fits under for the object's locale.

You can also add an array of items to return instead of the category name. For the details on what arguments a given local needs see L<Locales::DB::Docs::PluralForms>.

The array should be the same length of the list of plural form categories for the locale. See get_plural_form_categories().

The exception to that is when you specify the optional L<Locales::DB::Docs::PluralForms/“Special Zero” Argument>.

For example, 'en' has the plural categories 'one' and 'other', so it'd work like this:

    my $cat = $en->get_plural_form(0); # 'other'
    my $str = $en->get_plural_form(0,'I am 1','I am other'); # I am other
    my $str = $en->get_plural_form(0,'I am 1','I am other','I am nothing'); # I am nothing
    
    my $cat = $en->get_plural_form(1); # 'one'
    my $str = $en->get_plural_form(1,'I am 1','I am other'); # I am 1
    my $str = $en->get_plural_form(1,'I am 1','I am other','I am nothing');  #I am 1
    
    my $cat = $en->get_plural_form(2); # 'other'
    my $str = $en->get_plural_form(2,'I am 1','I am other'); # I am other
    my $str = $en->get_plural_form(2,'I am 1','I am other','I am nothing'); # I am other

In array context the second value is a boolean for if the return value is the L<Locales::DB::Docs::PluralForms/“Special Zero” Argument> or not.

This boolean value only has meaning when called with the additional array of items to return instead of the category name.

This method can carp() a few things:

=over

=item C<< Could not determine plural logic. >>

The locale does not have plural logic data.

=item C<< The number of given values (%d) does not match the number of categories (%d). >>

You passed too many or too few values after the initial numeric argument.

You'll only see this if $locales_object->{'verbose'} is set to true.

=item C<< The category (%s) is not used by this locale. >>

The locale's plural rules come up with a category that is not applicalble to the locale. Default to 'other' at this point.

=back

=item get_plural_form_categories()

Returns an array of the CLDR plural rule category names that this locale uses.

Their order corresponds to the position of the corresponing value that get_plural_form() uses.

=item get_list_and()

Stringify an "and" list of items as defined in the CLDR for the object's locale.

Note: get_list_or() will be done one L<CLDR defines the OR-list data|http://unicode.org/cldr/trac/ticket/4051>.

    $en->get_list_and() # nothing
    $en->get_list_and(1) # 1
    $en->get_list_and(1,2) # 1 and 2
    $en->get_list_and(1,2,3) # 1, 2, and 3
    $en->get_list_and(1,2,3,4) # 1, 2, 3, and 3
    
    $es->get_list_and() # nothing
    $es->get_list_and(1) # 1
    $es->get_list_and(1,2) # 1 y 2
    $es->get_list_and(1,2,3) # 1, 2 y 3
    $es->get_list_and(1,2,3,4) # 1, 2, 3 y 3

=item get_list_or()

Stringify an "or" list of items as defined in the CLDR for the object's locale.

This is a stub until L<CLDR defines the OR-list data|http://unicode.org/cldr/trac/ticket/4051>.

Until then it is essentially L</get_list_and()>.

=item get_formatted_decimal()

Return the given number as a string formatted per the locale's CLDR decimal format pattern.

An optional second argument defines a maximum length of decimal places (default is 6 perl %f, max is 14, if you have a need for a larger max please open an rt w/ context and we may make the max settable in the object)

    $fr->get_formatted_decimal("1234567890.12345"); # 1 234 567 890,12345
    $fr->get_formatted_decimal("1234567890.12345",4); # 1 234 567 890,123
    $fr->get_formatted_decimal("1234567890.12345",3); # 1 234 567 890,1235

Perl number stringification caveats:

=over 4

=item You can avoid most stringification of large integers issues by passing strings.

     $l->get_formatted_decimal(99999999999999999983222787.1234); # returns 1e+26 since that is how it comes into the function
     $l->get_formatted_decimal("99999999999999999983222787.1234"); # 99,999,999,999,999,999,983,222,787.1234

=item You can avoid most formatting of large decimal parts issues by passing strings.

     $l->get_formatted_decimal(10000000001.12345678911234,12); # 10,000,000,001.1235 since it is already truncated  when it comes into the function
     $l->get_formatted_decimal("10000000001.12345678911234",12); # 10,000,000,001.123456789112

=item If the abs integer is > 10_000_000_000 and the decimal part alone stringifies into an exponential number the rounding is not done.

That is OK though, since this isn't intended to be used in math and you are already aware of how large integers and decimals act oddly on computers right?

=item In general very large integers and/or very large decimal places get wonky when you want to turn them into a string like [0-9]+.[0-9]+

This is why we have a hard limit of 14 decimal places, to enforce some sense of sanity. You might consider only using the max decimal places argument to make it less than 6 digits long.

=back 

This method can carp() a few (hopefully self explanatory) things regarding CLDR number format syntax errors:

=over

=item C<< Format had more than 2 pos/neg sections. Using default pattern. >>

=item C<< Format should have one decimal section. Using default pattern. >>

=item C<< Format is empty. Using default pattern. >>

=back

=item code2language()

Alias for get_language_from_code()

=item language2code()

Alias for get_code_from_language()

=back

=head2 Utility functions

These are some functions used internally that you might find useful.

=over 4

=item Locales::normalize_tag()

Takes a single argument, the locale tag to normalize.

Returns the normalized tag.

   print Locales::normalize_tag("  en-GB\n "); # 'en_gb'    

=item Locales::normalize_tag_for_datetime_locale()

Like normalize_tag() except the return value should be suitable for L<DataTime::Locale>

   print Locales::normalize_tag_for_datetime_locale("  en-GB\n "); # 'en_GB'

=item Locales::split_tag()

Takes a single argument, the locale tag to split into language and territory parts.

Returns the resulting array of 1 or 2 normalized (but not validated) items.

   my ($language, $territory) = Locales::split_tag("  en-GB\n "); # ('en','gb')
   
   my ($language, $territory) = Locales::split_tag('fr'); # ('fr');
   
   my ($language, $territory) = Locales::split_tag('sr_Cyrl_YU'); # ('sr','cyrl_yu'), yes 'cyrl_yu' is invalid here since Locales doesn't work with the Script variants, good catch

=item Locales::get_i_tag_for_string()

Takes a single argument, the locale tag string to tranform into "i" notation.

Returns the resulting normailzed locale tag.

The standard tag for strings/tags without a standard is an "i" notation tag.

For example, the language "Yoda Speak" does not have an ISO code. You'd have to use i_yoda_speak.

    # assuming $string = "Yoda Speak"; you'd get into the if(), assuming it was 'Spanish' or 'es'
    if (!$en->get_language_from_code($string) && !$en->get_code_from_language($string) ) {
        # it is not a code or a language (at least in the language of $en) so lets create a tag for it:
        _create_locale_files( Locales::get_i_tag_for_string($string) ); # i_yoda_speak
    }
    else {
        # if it is a language name then we fetch the code otherwise, at this point, we know it is a code, so return a normailized version
        _create_locale_files( $en->get_code_from_language($yoda) || Locales::normalize_tag($yoda) );
    }

=item Locales::normalize_for_key_lookup()

Takes a single argument, the phrase string normalize in the same way the names are stored in each locale's lookup hash.

Returns the resulting normailzed string.

This is used internally to normalize a given name in the same manner the name-to-code hash keys are normalized.

If said normalization is ever improved then using this function will ensure everything is normalized consistently.

That allows $en->get_code_from_language($name) to map to 'afa' if given these various variations of $arg:

  "Afro-Asiatic Language"
  "afroasiatic\tLanguage"
  "AFRO-Asiatic Language"
  "  Afro_Asiatic    Language"
  "afro.Asiatic Language\n"

=item Locales::get_cldr_plural_category_list()

Returns a list of plural categories that CLDR uses.

With no argument, the order is what is appropriate for some noun quantifying localization methods.

With a true argument, the order is the order it makes sense to check their corresponding rules in.

=item Locales::plural_rule_string_to_code()

This is used under the hood to facilitate get_plural_form(). That being the case there probably isn't much use for it to be used directly.

This takes the plural rule string as found in the CLDR XML and returns an eval()able perl code version of it.

It will carp "Unknown plural rule syntax" and return; if it does not understand what you sent.

A second, optional, argument is the value to return if the rule matches.

If you eval the returned string you'll have a code reference that returns true (or whatever you give it) if the rule matched the given number or not:

    my $perly = Locales::plural_rule_string_to_code("n is 42 or n mod 42 is not 7");
    my $check = eval $perly;
    my $plural_category = $check->(42);

=item Locales::plural_rule_hashref_to_code()

This is used under the hood to facilitate get_plural_form(). That being the case there probably isn't much use for it to be used directly.

This takes a hashref that contains rules, puts them in the hash, and returns an overlal code ref. Its pretty internal so if you really need the details have agander at the source.

=item Locales::plural_rule_string_to_javascript_code

Same as Locales::plural_rule_string_to_code() except it returns javascript code instead of perl code.

Used internally when building this distributions share/javascript/ contents (JSON files for 'misc_info' hash and 'code_to_name').

=back

=head1 DIAGNOSTICS

Throws no warning or errors of it's own. If any function or method returns false then the arguments given (or not given) were invalid/not found.

Deviations from this are documented per function/method.

=head1 CONFIGURATION AND ENVIRONMENT

Locales requires no configuration files or environment variables.

=head1 DEPENDENCIES

None.

=head1 INCOMPATIBILITIES

None reported.

=head1 TODO

  - CLDR builder TODOs
  - more CLDR version/misc-info fetchers
  - generally improve get_code_from_* lookups
  - tests that misc info doesn't get odd structs from XML instead of a string
  - ? install share/ via L<File::ShareDir> mechanism ?
  - vet share/javascript/ && document better

=head1 DEPRECATED MODULES/INTERFACE

The original, non CLDR based,  '::Base' based modules/interface in this distribution were deprecated in version 0.06.

These modules were removed in version 0.15.

=head1 BUGS AND LIMITATIONS

No bugs have been reported.

Please report any bugs or feature requests regarding the Locales modules to
C<bug-locales@rt.cpan.org>, or through the web interface at
L<http://rt.cpan.org>.

Please report any bugs or feature requests regarding CLDR data as per 
L<http://cldr.unicode.org/index/bug-reports>.

=head2 BEFORE YOU SUBMIT A BUG REPORT

Please read TODO, DESCRIPTION, and the information below thouroughly to see if your thought is already addressed.

=over 4

=item * A non-English object returns English names.

Data that is not defined in a locale's CLDR data falls back to English.

Please report the missing data to the CLDR as per L<http://cldr.unicode.org/index/bug-reports>.

=item * I am using a locale code that I know exists in the CLDR but I can't use it anywhere in Locales

Only locales and territory codes that 'en' knows about are used. Only locales that have their own data set in CLDR are able to be objectified.

Additions or updates can be request as per L<http://cldr.unicode.org/index/bug-reports>.

=item * A name is misformatted, incorrect, etc.


The data is automatically harvested from CLDR. So if there is really a problem you'll have to report the problem to them. (as per L<http://cldr.unicode.org/index/bug-reports>)

Here are some things to check before submitting a report:

=over 4

=item * Corrupt text

=over 4

=item * Is your charset correct?

For example, viewing UTF-8 characters on a latin1 web page will result in garbled characters.

=item * It still looks corrupt!

Some locale's require special fonts to be installed on your system to view them properly.

For example Bengali (bn) is like this. As per L<http://www.unicode.org/help/display_problems.html> if you install the proper font it renders correctly.

=back

=item * Incorrect data or formatting

=over 4

=item * Is it really inaccurate?

It could simply be an incomplete understanding of the context of the data, for example:

In English we capitalize proper names (e.g. French).

In other languages it may be perfectly acceptable for a language or territory name to not start with upper case letters.

In that case a report about names not being capitalized like we do in English would be unwarranted.

=item * Is it really mis-formatted?

Sometimes something might look strange to us and we'd be tempted to report the problem. Keep in mind though that sometimes locale nuances can cause things to render in a way that non-native speakers may not understand. 

For example Arabic's (ar) right-to-left text direction can seem strange when mixed with latin text. It's simply not wrong. You may be able to improve it by using the direction data to render it better (e.g. CSS or HTML attributes if the output is HTML).

Also, CLDR pattern formats can differ per locale.

In cases like this a report would be unwarranted.
