Cardinalities

• CARDINALITY_ONE

  Matches n = 1

  Example Integers: 1

  Example Decimals: 1.0, 1.00, 1.000, 1.0000

• CARDINALITY_OTHER

  Matches all other values

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

  Example Decimals: 0.0, 0.9, 1.1, 1.6, 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.

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": "კალათში {{formattedCardinalityValue}} X-ია. შეიძენთ მას?",
          "CARDINALITY_OTHER": "კალათში {{formattedCardinalityValue}} X-ია. შეიძენთ მათ?"
        }
      }
    }
  }
}

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("ka");

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 = 1;
String oneFormattedCardinalityValue = numberFormat.format(oneCardinalityValue);

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

// Expected: კალათში 1 X-ია. შეიძენთ მას?
assertEquals("კალათში " + oneFormattedCardinalityValue + " X-ია. შეიძენთ მას?", strings.get(
  "Cardinality.MinimalPair",
  Map.of(
    "cardinalityValue", oneCardinalityValue,
    "formattedCardinalityValue", oneFormattedCardinalityValue
  )
));

// CARDINALITY_OTHER
Number otherCardinalityValue = 0;
String otherFormattedCardinalityValue = numberFormat.format(otherCardinalityValue);

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

// Expected: კალათში 0 X-ია. შეიძენთ მათ?
assertEquals("კალათში " + otherFormattedCardinalityValue + " X-ია. შეიძენთ მათ?", 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_OTHER

  Matches CARDINALITY_ONE

• CARDINALITY_OTHER - CARDINALITY_ONE

  Matches CARDINALITY_OTHER

• CARDINALITY_OTHER - CARDINALITY_OTHER

  Matches CARDINALITY_OTHER

Ordinalities

• ORDINALITY_ONE

  Matches i = 1

  Example Integers: 1

• ORDINALITY_MANY

  Matches i = 0 or i % 100 = 2..20,40,60,80

  Example Integers: 0, 2, 16, 102, 1002, …

• ORDINALITY_OTHER

  Matches all other values

  Example Integers: 21, 36, 100, 1000, 10000, 100000, 1000000, …

Ordinality example

This localized strings example uses complete CLDR minimal-pair patterns to demonstrate every Ordinality category defined for the locale.

          "ORDINALITY_OTHER": "{{formattedOrdinalValue}}-ე"
        }
      }
    }
  }
}

Usage and expected results

The Java code passes each raw number to Ordinality.forNumber(...) and formats its display value separately with NumberFormat.

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

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

// ORDINALITY_ONE
Number oneOrdinalValue = 1;
String oneFormattedOrdinalValue = numberFormat.format(oneOrdinalValue);

assertEquals(Ordinality.ONE, Ordinality.forNumber(oneOrdinalValue, locale));

// Expected: 1-ლი
assertEquals(oneFormattedOrdinalValue + "-ლი", strings.get(
  "Ordinal.MinimalPair",
  Map.of("ordinalValue", oneOrdinalValue, "formattedOrdinalValue", oneFormattedOrdinalValue)

// ORDINALITY_MANY
Number manyOrdinalValue = 2;
String manyFormattedOrdinalValue = numberFormat.format(manyOrdinalValue);

assertEquals(Ordinality.MANY, Ordinality.forNumber(manyOrdinalValue, locale));

// Expected: მე-2
assertEquals("მე-" + manyFormattedOrdinalValue, strings.get(
  "Ordinal.MinimalPair",
  Map.of("ordinalValue", manyOrdinalValue, "formattedOrdinalValue", manyFormattedOrdinalValue)
));

// ORDINALITY_OTHER
Number otherOrdinalValue = 21;
String otherFormattedOrdinalValue = numberFormat.format(otherOrdinalValue);

assertEquals(Ordinality.OTHER, Ordinality.forNumber(otherOrdinalValue, locale));

// Expected: 21-ე
assertEquals(otherFormattedOrdinalValue + "-ე", strings.get(
  "Ordinal.MinimalPair",
  Map.of("ordinalValue", otherOrdinalValue, "formattedOrdinalValue", otherFormattedOrdinalValue)
));

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
