Cardinalities

CARDINALITY_ONE

Matches i = 0,1

Example Integers: 0, 1

Example Decimals: 0.0, 1.5
CARDINALITY_MANY

Matches e = 0 and i != 0 and i % 1000000 = 0 and v = 0 or e != 0..5

Example Integers: 1000000, …
CARDINALITY_OTHER

Matches all other values

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

Example Decimals: 2.0, 3.5, 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 fr locale data.

Usage and expected results

JavaScript

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

import { cardinalityForNumber, createStrings } from "lokalized";
import { readStringsFromDirectory } from "lokalized/node";

const locale = "fr";

const strings = createStrings({
  localizedStringSupplier: () => readStringsFromDirectory("strings").catalogs,
  fallbackLocale: locale,
  localeSupplier: () => locale,
});

const numberFormat = new Intl.NumberFormat(locale);

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

// CARDINALITY_ONE
const oneCardinality = 0;
const oneFormattedCardinalityValue = numberFormat.format(oneCardinality);

cardinalityForNumber(oneCardinality, locale).name;   // => "CARDINALITY_ONE"
strings.get("Cardinality.MinimalPair", {
  cardinalityValue: oneCardinality,
  formattedCardinalityValue: oneFormattedCardinalityValue,
});   // => "0 jour"

// CARDINALITY_MANY
const manyCardinality = 1_000_000;
const manyFormattedCardinalityValue = numberFormat.format(manyCardinality);

cardinalityForNumber(manyCardinality, locale).name;   // => "CARDINALITY_MANY"
// U+202F NARROW NO-BREAK SPACE preserves exact narrow, nonbreaking spacing from localized source text or locale formatting
strings.get("Cardinality.MinimalPair", {
  cardinalityValue: manyCardinality,
  formattedCardinalityValue: manyFormattedCardinalityValue,
});   // => "1\u202F000\u202F000 de jours"

// CARDINALITY_OTHER
const otherCardinality = 2;
const otherFormattedCardinalityValue = numberFormat.format(otherCardinality);

cardinalityForNumber(otherCardinality, locale).name;   // => "CARDINALITY_OTHER"
strings.get("Cardinality.MinimalPair", {
  cardinalityValue: otherCardinality,
  formattedCardinalityValue: otherFormattedCardinalityValue,
});   // => "2 jours"

Java

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

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

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 oneCardinality = 0;
String oneFormattedCardinalityValue = numberFormat.format(oneCardinality);

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

// Expected: 0 jour
assertEquals(oneFormattedCardinalityValue + " jour", strings.get(
  "Cardinality.MinimalPair",
  Map.of("cardinalityValue", oneCardinality, "formattedCardinalityValue", oneFormattedCardinalityValue)
));

// CARDINALITY_MANY
Number manyCardinality = 1_000_000;
String manyFormattedCardinalityValue = numberFormat.format(manyCardinality);

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

// Expected: 1<NNBSP>000<NNBSP>000 de jours
assertEquals(manyFormattedCardinalityValue + " de jours", strings.get(
  "Cardinality.MinimalPair",
  Map.of(
    "cardinalityValue", manyCardinality,
    "formattedCardinalityValue", manyFormattedCardinalityValue
  )
));

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

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

// Expected: 2 jours
assertEquals(otherFormattedCardinalityValue + " jours", strings.get(
  "Cardinality.MinimalPair",
  Map.of(
    "cardinalityValue", otherCardinality,
    "formattedCardinalityValue", otherFormattedCardinalityValue
  )
));

Swift

Swift uses pinned CLDR rules for raw numeric values. The display strings in these assertions are fixed examples; applications format display values separately with Foundation. Default .rtlLocales bidi isolation adds FSI/PDI to interpolated values in right-to-left output.

import Foundation
import Lokalized

let locale = try LocaleTag("fr")
let files = try LocalizedStringLoader.loadFromDirectory(URL(fileURLWithPath: "strings"))
let catalogs = files.mapValues { LocalizedCatalog(strings: $0.strings) }

let strings = try DefaultStrings(configuration: StringsConfiguration(
  localizedStringSupplier: { catalogs }, localeSupplier: { _ in locale },
  fallbackLocale: locale
))

// CARDINALITY_ONE
let number1 = try NumericValue.forDecimal("0")
let category1 = try Cardinality.forNumber(number1, locale: locale.tag)
assert(category1 == .one)
// This fixed display value makes the translation assertion reproducible.
let display1 = "0"
let message1 = try strings.get("Cardinality.MinimalPair", placeholders: [
  "cardinalityValue": .number(number1),
  "formattedCardinalityValue": .text(display1),
])
assert(ExactString(message1) == ExactString("0 jour"))

// CARDINALITY_MANY
let number2 = try NumericValue.forDecimal("1000000")
let category2 = try Cardinality.forNumber(number2, locale: locale.tag)
assert(category2 == .many)
// This fixed display value makes the translation assertion reproducible.
let display2 = "1\u{202F}000\u{202F}000"
let message2 = try strings.get("Cardinality.MinimalPair", placeholders: [
  "cardinalityValue": .number(number2),
  "formattedCardinalityValue": .text(display2),
])
assert(ExactString(message2) == ExactString("1\u{202F}000\u{202F}000 de jours"))

// CARDINALITY_OTHER
let number3 = try NumericValue.forDecimal("2")
let category3 = try Cardinality.forNumber(number3, locale: locale.tag)
assert(category3 == .other)
// This fixed display value makes the translation assertion reproducible.
let display3 = "2"
let message3 = try strings.get("Cardinality.MinimalPair", placeholders: [
  "cardinalityValue": .number(number3),
  "formattedCardinalityValue": .text(display3),
])
assert(ExactString(message3) == ExactString("2 jours"))

Cardinality Ranges

These are CLDR's explicit range mappings. For any start/end pair not listed, the range 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

Cardinality range example

The start and end cardinalities select the locale's CLDR range result. The selected form wraps a separately formatted display range.

Usage and expected results

JavaScript

The JavaScript code passes raw range endpoints for selection, formats both endpoints separately with Intl.NumberFormat, and joins them for display; choose range punctuation appropriate to your application. Range rules are an optional import, lokalized/data/ranges.

import { cardinalityForNumber, createStrings } from "lokalized";
import { cardinalRangeData, cardinalityForRange } from "lokalized/data/ranges";
import { readStringsFromDirectory } from "lokalized/node";

const locale = "fr";

const strings = createStrings({
  localizedStringSupplier: () => readStringsFromDirectory("strings").catalogs,
  fallbackLocale: locale,
  localeSupplier: () => locale,
  pluralData: { ranges: cardinalRangeData },
});

const numberFormat = new Intl.NumberFormat(locale);

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

// CARDINALITY_ONE range
const minDays = 0;
const formattedMinDays = numberFormat.format(minDays);
const maxDays = 1;
const formattedMaxDays = numberFormat.format(maxDays);
const formattedDayRange = formattedMinDays + "-" + formattedMaxDays;

cardinalityForRange(
  cardinalityForNumber(minDays, locale),
  cardinalityForNumber(maxDays, locale),
  locale
).name;   // => "CARDINALITY_ONE"
strings.get("Delivery.Window", { minDays, maxDays, formattedDayRange });   // => "0-1 jour"

Java

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.

  .localizedStringSupplier(() -> LocalizedStringLoader.loadFromFilesystem(Paths.get("strings")))

Number minDays = 0;
String formattedMinDays = numberFormat.format(minDays);
Number maxDays = 1;
String formattedMaxDays = numberFormat.format(maxDays);
String formattedDayRange = formattedMinDays + "-" + formattedMaxDays;

assertEquals(Cardinality.ONE, Cardinality.forRange(

Ordinalities

ORDINALITY_ONE

Matches n = 1

Example Integers: 1
ORDINALITY_OTHER

Matches all other values

Example Integers: 0, 2, 16, 100, 1000, 10000, 100000, 1000000, …

Language-Specific Examples

These examples show how Lokalized models grammatical choices and translation behavior that commonly affect French application copy. Each example identifies the Lokalized language forms and other library features it uses.

Customer status by gender

French customer labels and predicate adjectives agree in gender, producing client actif for masculine and cliente active for feminine.

Definite-article elision by phonetic onset

French elides le or la before a vowel or h muet, but retains the full article before h aspiré; these forms cover common application content and navigation labels.

Language references: OQLF: elision before vowels, h muet, and h aspiré, OQLF: h muet pronunciation and elision

Language forms used: phonetics

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
