Cardinality example

This localized strings file selects the localized form of “day” for a delivery estimate. Raw numbers choose the CLDR category; values formatted with the JDK NumberFormat are interpolated for display.

Usage and expected results

The Java code passes each raw number for cardinality selection and formats its display value separately with NumberFormat. For this right-to-left locale, Lokalized's default BidiIsolation.RTL_LOCALES wraps caller-supplied formatted values with U+2068 FIRST STRONG ISOLATE and U+2069 POP DIRECTIONAL ISOLATE; the expected expressions below show those escapes.

Locale locale = Locale.forLanguageTag("ars");

Strings strings = Strings.withFallbackLocale(locale)
  .localizedStringSupplier(() -> LocalizedStringLoader.loadFromFilesystem(Paths.get("strings")))
  .localeSupplier((matcher) -> matcher.bestMatchFor(locale))
  .build();

NumberFormat numberFormat = NumberFormat.getNumberInstance(locale);

// Raw numbers select language forms; NumberFormat produces the display values

// CARDINALITY_ZERO
Number zeroDayCount = 0;
String zeroFormattedDayCount = numberFormat.format(zeroDayCount);

assertEquals(Cardinality.ZERO, Cardinality.forNumber(zeroDayCount, locale));

// Expected: <FSI>٠<PDI> يوم
// U+2068 FIRST STRONG ISOLATE begins bidirectional isolation around a caller-supplied value in right-to-left text
// U+2069 POP DIRECTIONAL ISOLATE ends bidirectional isolation around a caller-supplied value in right-to-left text
assertEquals("\u2068" + zeroFormattedDayCount + "\u2069 يوم", strings.get(
  "Delivery.LeadTime", Map.of("dayCount", zeroDayCount, "formattedDayCount", zeroFormattedDayCount)
));

// CARDINALITY_ONE
Number oneDayCount = 1;
String oneFormattedDayCount = numberFormat.format(oneDayCount);

assertEquals(Cardinality.ONE, Cardinality.forNumber(oneDayCount, locale));

assertEquals("يوم", strings.get(
  "Delivery.LeadTime", Map.of("dayCount", oneDayCount, "formattedDayCount", oneFormattedDayCount)
));

// CARDINALITY_TWO
Number twoDayCount = 2;
String twoFormattedDayCount = numberFormat.format(twoDayCount);

assertEquals(Cardinality.TWO, Cardinality.forNumber(twoDayCount, locale));

assertEquals("يومان", strings.get(
  "Delivery.LeadTime", Map.of("dayCount", twoDayCount, "formattedDayCount", twoFormattedDayCount)
));

// CARDINALITY_FEW
Number fewDayCount = 3;
String fewFormattedDayCount = numberFormat.format(fewDayCount);

assertEquals(Cardinality.FEW, Cardinality.forNumber(fewDayCount, locale));

// Expected: <FSI>٣<PDI> أيام
assertEquals("\u2068" + fewFormattedDayCount + "\u2069 أيام", strings.get(
  "Delivery.LeadTime", Map.of("dayCount", fewDayCount, "formattedDayCount", fewFormattedDayCount)
));

// CARDINALITY_MANY
Number manyDayCount = 11;
String manyFormattedDayCount = numberFormat.format(manyDayCount);

assertEquals(Cardinality.MANY, Cardinality.forNumber(manyDayCount, locale));

// Expected: <FSI>١١<PDI> يومًا
assertEquals("\u2068" + manyFormattedDayCount + "\u2069 يومًا", strings.get(
  "Delivery.LeadTime", Map.of("dayCount", manyDayCount, "formattedDayCount", manyFormattedDayCount)
));

// CARDINALITY_OTHER
Number otherDayCount = 100;
String otherFormattedDayCount = numberFormat.format(otherDayCount);

assertEquals(Cardinality.OTHER, Cardinality.forNumber(otherDayCount, locale));

// Expected: <FSI>١٠٠<PDI> يوم
assertEquals("\u2068" + otherFormattedDayCount + "\u2069 يوم", strings.get(
  "Delivery.LeadTime", Map.of("dayCount", otherDayCount, "formattedDayCount", otherFormattedDayCount)
));

Cardinality Ranges

No explicit CLDR cardinality-range mapping is defined for this language. Cardinality.forRange(...) therefore falls back to the ending cardinality for every range.

Cardinality range example

Because CLDR defines no explicit range mapping for this locale, the ending cardinality selects the result. The selected form wraps a separately formatted display range.

Sample localized strings file

ars.json Localized Strings File (Najdi Arabic)

{
  "Delivery.Window": {
    "commentary": "Estimated delivery window, expressed as a range of days.",
    "translation": "{{window}}",
    "placeholders": {
      "window": {
        "range": {
          "start": "minDays",
          "end": "maxDays"
        },
        "translations": {
          "CARDINALITY_ZERO": "{{formattedDayRange}} يوم",
          "CARDINALITY_ONE": "{{formattedDayRange}} يوم",
          "CARDINALITY_TWO": "{{formattedDayRange}} يومان",
          "CARDINALITY_FEW": "{{formattedDayRange}} أيام",
          "CARDINALITY_MANY": "{{formattedDayRange}} يومًا",
          "CARDINALITY_OTHER": "{{formattedDayRange}} يوم"
        }
      }
    }
  }
}

Usage and expected results

The Java code passes raw range endpoints for selection. Because NumberFormat formats one number at a time, it formats both endpoints separately and joins them for display; choose range punctuation appropriate to your application. For this right-to-left locale, Lokalized's default BidiIsolation.RTL_LOCALES wraps caller-supplied formatted values with U+2068 FIRST STRONG ISOLATE and U+2069 POP DIRECTIONAL ISOLATE; the expected expressions below show those escapes.

Locale locale = Locale.forLanguageTag("ars");

Strings strings = Strings.withFallbackLocale(locale)
  .localizedStringSupplier(() -> LocalizedStringLoader.loadFromFilesystem(Paths.get("strings")))
  .localeSupplier((matcher) -> matcher.bestMatchFor(locale))
  .build();

NumberFormat numberFormat = NumberFormat.getNumberInstance(locale);

// Raw numbers select language forms; NumberFormat produces the display values

// CARDINALITY_OTHER range (ending-cardinality fallback)
Number minDays = 0;
String formattedMinDays = numberFormat.format(minDays);
Number maxDays = new java.math.BigDecimal("0.1");
NumberFormat maxDaysFormat = NumberFormat.getNumberInstance(locale);
maxDaysFormat.setMinimumFractionDigits(1);
maxDaysFormat.setMaximumFractionDigits(1);
String formattedMaxDays = maxDaysFormat.format(maxDays);
String formattedDayRange = formattedMinDays + "-" + formattedMaxDays;

assertEquals(Cardinality.OTHER, Cardinality.forRange(
  Cardinality.forNumber(minDays, locale),
  Cardinality.forNumber(maxDays, locale),
  locale
));

// Expected: <FSI>٠-٠٫١<PDI> يوم
// U+2068 FIRST STRONG ISOLATE begins bidirectional isolation around a caller-supplied value in right-to-left text
// U+2069 POP DIRECTIONAL ISOLATE ends bidirectional isolation around a caller-supplied value in right-to-left text
assertEquals("\u2068" + formattedDayRange + "\u2069 يوم", strings.get(
  "Delivery.Window",
  Map.of("minDays", minDays, "maxDays", maxDays, "formattedDayRange", formattedDayRange)
));

Ordinalities

All ordinal numbers use ORDINALITY_OTHER; no value selects a different form.

Addendum: Language Form Rules

The language form expressions above are specified by Unicode Technical Standard #35 and use the following notation:

n absolute value of the source number (integer and decimals)
i integer digits of n
v number of visible fraction digits in n, with trailing zeros
w number of visible fraction digits in n, without trailing zeros
f visible fractional digits in n, with trailing zeros
t visible fractional digits in n, without trailing zeros
c/e compact decimal exponent operands used by some CLDR compact-number rules
