Cardinalities

• CARDINALITY_ONE

  Matches i = 0 or n = 1

  Example Integers: 0, 1

  Example Decimals: 0.0, 1.0, 0.00, 0.04

• CARDINALITY_OTHER

  Matches all other values

  Example Integers: 2, 17, 100, 1000, 10000, 100000, 1000000, …

  Example Decimals: 1.1, 2.6, 10.0, 100.0, 1000.0, 10000.0, 100000.0, 1000000.0, …

Cardinality example

This localized strings example uses complete, page-local CLDR minimal-pair patterns to demonstrate every Cardinality category defined for the locale. Minimal-pair text contrasts grammatical forms; it is language-reference data, not reusable application copy.

Source: Unicode CLDR 48.2 as locale data.

Sample localized strings file

{
  "Cardinality.MinimalPair": {
    "commentary": "Demonstrates every CLDR cardinal category defined for this locale.",
    "translation": "{{cardinalityExample}}",
    "placeholders": {
      "cardinalityExample": {
        "value": "cardinalityValue",
        "translations": {
          "CARDINALITY_ONE": "আপুনি তাত {{formattedCardinalityValue}} দিন আছিল, আপোনাৰ দিনটো কেনে আছিল?",
          "CARDINALITY_OTHER": "আপুনি তাত {{formattedCardinalityValue}} দিন আছিল, আপোনাৰ দিনবোৰ কেনে আছিল?"
        }
      }
    }
  }

Usage and expected results

The Java code passes each raw number for cardinality selection and formats its display value separately with NumberFormat.

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

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_ONE
Number oneCardinalityValue = 0;
String oneFormattedCardinalityValue = numberFormat.format(oneCardinalityValue);

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

// Expected: আপুনি তাত ০ দিন আছিল, আপোনাৰ দিনটো কেনে আছিল?
assertEquals(
  "আপুনি তাত " + oneFormattedCardinalityValue + " দিন আছিল, আপোনাৰ দিনটো কেনে আছিল?",
  strings.get(
    "Cardinality.MinimalPair",
    Map.of(
      "cardinalityValue", oneCardinalityValue,
      "formattedCardinalityValue", oneFormattedCardinalityValue
    )
  )
);

// CARDINALITY_OTHER
Number otherCardinalityValue = 2;
String otherFormattedCardinalityValue = numberFormat.format(otherCardinalityValue);

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

// Expected: আপুনি তাত ২ দিন আছিল, আপোনাৰ দিনবোৰ কেনে আছিল?
assertEquals(
  "আপুনি তাত " + otherFormattedCardinalityValue + " দিন আছিল, আপোনাৰ দিনবোৰ কেনে আছিল?",
  strings.get(
    "Cardinality.MinimalPair",
    Map.of(
      "cardinalityValue", otherCardinalityValue,
      "formattedCardinalityValue", otherFormattedCardinalityValue
    )
  )
);

Cardinality Ranges

These are CLDR's explicit range mappings. For any start/end pair not listed, Cardinality.forRange(...) falls back to the ending cardinality.

• CARDINALITY_ONE - CARDINALITY_ONE

  Matches CARDINALITY_ONE

• CARDINALITY_ONE - CARDINALITY_OTHER

  Matches CARDINALITY_OTHER

• CARDINALITY_OTHER - CARDINALITY_OTHER

  Matches CARDINALITY_OTHER

Ordinalities

• ORDINALITY_ONE

  Matches n = 1,5,7,8,9,10

  Example Integers: 1, 5, 7, 10

• ORDINALITY_TWO

  Matches n = 2,3

  Example Integers: 2, 3

• ORDINALITY_FEW

  Matches n = 4

  Example Integers: 4

• ORDINALITY_MANY

  Matches n = 6

  Example Integers: 6

• ORDINALITY_OTHER

  Matches all other values

  Example Integers: 0, 11, 25, 100, 1000, 10000, 100000, 1000000, …

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
