locales
Locales is a set of locales generated from the Unicode CLDR Project which can be used independently or within
an i18n package; these were built for use with, but not exclusive to, Universal Translator.
Features
- Rules generated from the latest CLDR data, v31.0.1
- Contains Cardinal, Ordinal and Range Plural Rules
- Contains Month, Weekday and Timezone translations built in
- Contains Date & Time formatting functions
- Contains Number, Currency, Accounting and Percent formatting functions
- Supports the "Gregorian" calendar only ( my time isn't unlimited, had to draw the line somewhere )
Full Tests
I could sure use your help adding tests for every locale, it is a huge undertaking and I just don't have the free time to do it all at the moment;
any help would be greatly appreciated!!!! please see issue for details.
Installation
Use go get
go get github.com/go-playground/locales
NOTES
You'll notice most return types are []byte, this is because most of the time the results will be concatenated with a larger body
of text and can avoid some allocations if already appending to a byte array, otherwise just cast as string.
Usage
package main
import (
"fmt"
"time"
"github.com/go-playground/locales/currency"
"github.com/go-playground/locales/en_CA"
)
func main() {
loc, _ := time.LoadLocation("America/Toronto")
datetime := time.Date(2016, 02, 03, 9, 0, 1, 0, loc)
l := en_CA.New()

fmt.Println(l.MonthWide(time.February))
fmt.Println(l.MonthWide(time.March))
// ...
// Months Abbreviated
fmt.Println(l.MonthAbbreviated(time.January))
fmt.Println(l.MonthAbbreviated(time.February))

// ...
// Months Narrow
fmt.Println(l.MonthNarrow(time.January))
fmt.Println(l.MonthNarrow(time.February))
fmt.Println(l.MonthNarrow(time.March))
// ...
// Weekdays Wide
fmt.Println(l.WeekdayWide(time.Sunday))
fmt.Println(l.WeekdayWide(time.Monday))
fmt.Println(l.WeekdayWide(time.Tuesday))
// ...
// Weekdays Abbreviated
fmt.Println(l.WeekdayAbbreviated(time.Sunday))
fmt.Println(l.WeekdayAbbreviated(time.Monday))
fmt.Println(l.WeekdayAbbreviated(time.Tuesday))
// ...
// Weekdays Short
fmt.Println(l.WeekdayShort(time.Sunday))
fmt.Println(l.WeekdayShort(time.Monday))
fmt.Println(l.WeekdayShort(time.Tuesday))
// ...
// Weekdays Narrow
fmt.Println(l.WeekdayNarrow(time.Sunday))
fmt.Println(l.WeekdayNarrow(time.Monday))
fmt.Println(l.WeekdayNarrow(time.Tuesday))
// ...
var f64 float64
f64 = -10356.4523
// Number
fmt.Println(l.FmtNumber(f64, 2))
// Currency
fmt.Println(l.FmtCurrency(f64, 2, currency.CAD))
fmt.Println(l.FmtCurrency(f64, 2, currency.USD))
// Accounting
fmt.Println(l.FmtAccounting(f64, 2, currency.CAD))
fmt.Println(l.FmtAccounting(f64, 2, currency.USD))
f64 = 78.12
// Percent
fmt.Println(l.FmtPercent(f64, 0))
// Plural Rules for locale, so you know what rules you must cover
fmt.Println(l.PluralsCardinal())
fmt.Println(l.PluralsOrdinal())
// Cardinal Plural Rules
fmt.Println(l.CardinalPluralRule(1, 0))
fmt.Println(l.CardinalPluralRule(1.0, 0))
fmt.Println(l.CardinalPluralRule(1.0, 1))
fmt.Println(l.CardinalPluralRule(3, 0))
// Ordinal Plural Rules
fmt.Println(l.OrdinalPluralRule(21, 0)) // 21st
fmt.Println(l.OrdinalPluralRule(22, 0)) // 22nd
fmt.Println(l.OrdinalPluralRule(33, 0)) // 33rd
fmt.Println(l.OrdinalPluralRule(34, 0)) // 34th
// Range Plural Rules
fmt.Println(l.RangePluralRule(1, 0, 1, 0)) // 1-1
fmt.Println(l.RangePluralRule(1, 0, 2, 0)) // 1-2
fmt.Println(l.RangePluralRule(5, 0, 8, 0)) // 5-8
}
NOTES:
These rules were generated from the Unicode CLDR Project, if you encounter any issues
I strongly encourage contributing to the CLDR project to get the locale information corrected and the next time
these locales are regenerated the fix will come with.
I do however realize that time constraints are often important and so there are two options:
- Create your own locale, copy, paste and modify, and ensure it complies with the
Translatorinterface. - Add an exception in the locale generation code directly and once regenerated, fix will be in place.
Please to not make fixes inside the locale files, they WILL get overwritten when the locales are regenerated.
