Cardinalities

CARDINALITY_ONE

Matches v = 0 and i % 10 = 1 and i % 100 != 11 or f % 10 = 1 and f % 100 != 11

Example Integers: 1, 21, 31, 41, 51, 61, 71, 81, 101, 1001, …

Example Decimals: 0.1, 1.1, 2.1, 3.1, 4.1, 5.1, 6.1, 7.1, 10.1, 100.1, 1000.1, …
CARDINALITY_OTHER

Matches all other values

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

Example Decimals: 0.0, 0.2, 1.0, 1.2, 1.7, 10.0, 100.0, 1000.0, 10000.0, 100000.0, 1000000.0, …

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.

Sample localized strings file

mk.json Localized Strings File (Macedonian)

{
  "Delivery.LeadTime": {
    "commentary": "Estimated delivery time, expressed in days.",
    "translation": "{{leadTime}}",
    "placeholders": {
      "leadTime": {
        "value": "dayCount",
        "translations": {
          "CARDINALITY_ONE": "{{formattedDayCount}} ден",
          "CARDINALITY_OTHER": "{{formattedDayCount}} дена"
        }
      }
    }
  }
}

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("mk");

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 oneDayCount = 1;
String oneFormattedDayCount = numberFormat.format(oneDayCount);

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

// Expected: 1 ден
assertEquals(oneFormattedDayCount + " ден", strings.get(
  "Delivery.LeadTime", Map.of("dayCount", oneDayCount, "formattedDayCount", oneFormattedDayCount)
));

// CARDINALITY_OTHER
Number otherDayCount = 0;
String otherFormattedDayCount = numberFormat.format(otherDayCount);

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

// Expected: 0 дена
assertEquals(otherFormattedDayCount + " дена", strings.get(
  "Delivery.LeadTime", Map.of("dayCount", otherDayCount, "formattedDayCount", otherFormattedDayCount)
));

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_OTHER
CARDINALITY_ONE - CARDINALITY_OTHER

Matches CARDINALITY_OTHER
CARDINALITY_OTHER - CARDINALITY_ONE

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.

Sample localized strings file

mk.json Localized Strings File (Macedonian)

{
  "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}} ден",
          "CARDINALITY_OTHER": "{{formattedDayRange}} дена"
        }
      }
    }
  }
}

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("mk");

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

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

// Expected: 1-21 дена
assertEquals(formattedDayRange + " дена", strings.get(
  "Delivery.Window",
  Map.of("minDays", minDays, "maxDays", maxDays, "formattedDayRange", formattedDayRange)
));

Ordinalities

ORDINALITY_ONE

Matches i % 10 = 1 and i % 100 != 11

Example Integers: 1, 21, 31, 41, 51, 61, 71, 81, 101, 1001, …
ORDINALITY_TWO

Matches i % 10 = 2 and i % 100 != 12

Example Integers: 2, 22, 32, 42, 52, 62, 72, 82, 102, 1002, …
ORDINALITY_MANY

Matches i % 10 = 7,8 and i % 100 != 17,18

Example Integers: 7, 8, 27, 28, 37, 38, 47, 48, 57, 58, 67, 68, 77, 78, 87, 88, 107, 1007, …
ORDINALITY_OTHER

Matches all other values

Example Integers: 0, 3, 6, 9, 19, 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.

Source: Unicode CLDR 48.2 mk locale data.

Sample localized strings file

mk.json Localized Strings File (Macedonian)

{
  "Ordinal.MinimalPair": {
    "commentary": "Demonstrates every CLDR ordinal category defined for this locale.",
    "translation": "{{ordinalExample}}",
    "placeholders": {
      "ordinalExample": {
        "value": "ordinalValue",
        "translations": {
          "ORDINALITY_ONE": "Сврти на {{formattedOrdinalValue}}-вата улица десно.",
          "ORDINALITY_TWO": "Сврти на {{formattedOrdinalValue}}-рата улица десно.",
          "ORDINALITY_MANY": "Сврти на {{formattedOrdinalValue}}-мата улица десно.",
          "ORDINALITY_OTHER": "Сврти на {{formattedOrdinalValue}}-тата улица десно."
        }
      }
    }
  }
}

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("mk");

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

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

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

// Expected: Сврти на 1-вата улица десно.
assertEquals("Сврти на " + oneFormattedOrdinalValue + "-вата улица десно.", strings.get(
  "Ordinal.MinimalPair",
  Map.of("ordinalValue", oneOrdinalValue, "formattedOrdinalValue", oneFormattedOrdinalValue)
));

// ORDINALITY_TWO
Number twoOrdinalValue = 2;
String twoFormattedOrdinalValue = numberFormat.format(twoOrdinalValue);

assertEquals(Ordinality.TWO, Ordinality.forNumber(twoOrdinalValue, locale));

// Expected: Сврти на 2-рата улица десно.
assertEquals("Сврти на " + twoFormattedOrdinalValue + "-рата улица десно.", strings.get(
  "Ordinal.MinimalPair",
  Map.of("ordinalValue", twoOrdinalValue, "formattedOrdinalValue", twoFormattedOrdinalValue)
));

// ORDINALITY_MANY
Number manyOrdinalValue = 7;
String manyFormattedOrdinalValue = numberFormat.format(manyOrdinalValue);

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

// Expected: Сврти на 7-мата улица десно.
assertEquals("Сврти на " + manyFormattedOrdinalValue + "-мата улица десно.", strings.get(
  "Ordinal.MinimalPair",
  Map.of("ordinalValue", manyOrdinalValue, "formattedOrdinalValue", manyFormattedOrdinalValue)
));

// ORDINALITY_OTHER
Number otherOrdinalValue = 3;
String otherFormattedOrdinalValue = numberFormat.format(otherOrdinalValue);

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

// Expected: Сврти на 3-тата улица десно.
assertEquals("Сврти на " + otherFormattedOrdinalValue + "-тата улица десно.", 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
