Lithuanian lietuvių

BCP 47 language tag: lt

Lokalized supports cardinality, cardinality range, and ordinality rules for Lithuanian.

Lithuanian is most often spoken in Lithuania, the United Kingdom, and Poland.

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.

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("lt");

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: 1 obuolys
assertEquals(oneFormattedCardinalityValue + " obuolys", strings.get(
  "Cardinality.MinimalPair",
  Map.of(
    "cardinalityValue", oneCardinalityValue,
    "formattedCardinalityValue", oneFormattedCardinalityValue
  )
));

// CARDINALITY_FEW
Number fewCardinalityValue = 2;
String fewFormattedCardinalityValue = numberFormat.format(fewCardinalityValue);

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

// Expected: 2 obuoliai
assertEquals(fewFormattedCardinalityValue + " obuoliai", strings.get(
  "Cardinality.MinimalPair",
  Map.of(
    "cardinalityValue", fewCardinalityValue,
    "formattedCardinalityValue", fewFormattedCardinalityValue
  )
));

// CARDINALITY_MANY
Number manyCardinalityValue = new java.math.BigDecimal("0.1");
NumberFormat manyCardinalityValueFormat = NumberFormat.getNumberInstance(locale);
manyCardinalityValueFormat.setMinimumFractionDigits(1);
manyCardinalityValueFormat.setMaximumFractionDigits(1);
String manyFormattedCardinalityValue = manyCardinalityValueFormat.format(manyCardinalityValue);

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

// Expected: 0,1 obuolio
assertEquals(manyFormattedCardinalityValue + " obuolio", strings.get(
  "Cardinality.MinimalPair",
  Map.of(
    "cardinalityValue", manyCardinalityValue,
    "formattedCardinalityValue", manyFormattedCardinalityValue
  )
));

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

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

// Expected: 0 obuolių
assertEquals(otherFormattedCardinalityValue + " obuolių", 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_FEW

    Matches CARDINALITY_FEW

  • CARDINALITY_ONE - CARDINALITY_MANY

    Matches CARDINALITY_MANY

  • CARDINALITY_ONE - CARDINALITY_OTHER

    Matches CARDINALITY_OTHER

  • CARDINALITY_FEW - CARDINALITY_ONE

    Matches CARDINALITY_ONE

  • CARDINALITY_FEW - CARDINALITY_FEW

    Matches CARDINALITY_FEW

  • CARDINALITY_FEW - CARDINALITY_MANY

    Matches CARDINALITY_MANY

  • CARDINALITY_FEW - CARDINALITY_OTHER

    Matches CARDINALITY_OTHER

  • CARDINALITY_MANY - CARDINALITY_ONE

    Matches CARDINALITY_ONE

  • CARDINALITY_MANY - CARDINALITY_FEW

    Matches CARDINALITY_FEW

  • CARDINALITY_MANY - CARDINALITY_MANY

    Matches CARDINALITY_MANY

  • CARDINALITY_MANY - CARDINALITY_OTHER

    Matches CARDINALITY_OTHER

  • CARDINALITY_OTHER - CARDINALITY_ONE

    Matches CARDINALITY_ONE

  • CARDINALITY_OTHER - CARDINALITY_FEW

    Matches CARDINALITY_FEW

  • CARDINALITY_OTHER - CARDINALITY_MANY

    Matches CARDINALITY_MANY

  • 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.

Sample localized strings file
lt.json Localized Strings File (Lithuanian) 
{
  "Delivery.Window": {
    "commentary": "Estimated delivery window, expressed as a range of days.",
    "translation": "{{window}}",
    "placeholders": {
      "window": {
        "range": {
          "start": "minDays",
          "end": "maxDays"
        },
        "translations": {
          "CARDINALITY_ONE": "{{formattedDayRange}} diena",
          "CARDINALITY_FEW": "{{formattedDayRange}} dienos",
          "CARDINALITY_MANY": "{{formattedDayRange}} dienos",
          "CARDINALITY_OTHER": "{{formattedDayRange}} dienų"
        }
      }
    }
  }
}
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.

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

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 range
Number minDays = 1;
String formattedMinDays = numberFormat.format(minDays);
Number maxDays = 21;
String formattedMaxDays = numberFormat.format(maxDays);
String formattedDayRange = formattedMinDays + "-" + formattedMaxDays;

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

// Expected: 1-21 diena
assertEquals(formattedDayRange + " diena", 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.

Example: 2-ame posūkyje sukite į dešinę..

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
