My own solution is to add to strings.xml key-value pair locale=<locale code>, thus context.getResources().getString(R.string.locale) will return locale code specific for used locale.
Get system language Resources.getSystem().getConfiguration().locale.getLanguage(); Get app language String currentLang = Locale.getDefault().getLanguage();
Yes, using DateFormat.getDateInstance(int style, Locale aLocale) This displays the current date in a locale-specific way. So, for example: DateFormat df = DateFormat.getDateInstance(DateFormat.SHORT, yourLocale); String formattedDate = df.format(yourDate); See the docs for the exact meaning of the style parameter (SHORT, MEDIUM, etc)
You can use a sort with a custom Comparator. See the Collator interface Collator coll = Collator.getInstance(locale); coll.setStrength(Collator.PRIMARY); Collections.sort(words, coll); The collator is a comparator and can be passed directly to the Collections.sort(…) method.
There are several systems for locale identifiers. Many of them are similar at the first glance, but not when you go deeper: Some examples (Serbian-Serbia with Latin Script, Japanese-Japan with radical sorting): UTS-35, ICU, Mac OS X, Flash: sr-Latn-RS, ja-JP@collation=radical Newer UTS-35, BCP 47 extension U: sr-Latn-RS, ja-JP-u-co-unihan Win 2000, XP: 0x81a, 0x10411 Vista, Win … Read more
From man 3 setlocale (New maxim: “When in doubt, read the entire manpage.”): If locale is “”, each part of the locale that should be modified is set according to the environment variables. So, we can read the environment variables by calling setlocale at the beginning of the program, as follows: #include <iostream> #include <locale.h> … Read more
Localization is part of Content-Negotiation in Restful API. So my preferred way I would do it through headers. HTTP offers standard way of defining wanted language. Have a look at Accept-Language header.
You may do it the locale-aware way: import locale # Set to users preferred locale: locale.setlocale(locale.LC_ALL, ”) # Or a specific locale: locale.setlocale(locale.LC_NUMERIC, “en_DK.UTF-8”) print locale.atof(“3,14”) Read this section before using this method.
