stri_locale_info: Query Given Locale#

Description#

Provides some basic information on a given locale identifier.

Usage#

stri_locale_info(locale = NULL)

Arguments#

locale

NULL or '' for default locale, or a single string with locale identifier.

Details#

With this function you may obtain some basic information on any provided locale identifier, even if it is unsupported by ICU or if you pass a malformed locale identifier (the one that is not, e.g., of the form Language_Country). See stringi-locale for discussion.

This function does not do anything really complicated. In many cases it is similar to a call to as.list(stri_split_fixed(locale, '_', 3L)[[1]]), with locale case mapped. It may be used, however, to get insight on how ICU understands a given locale identifier.

Value#

Returns a list with the following named character strings: Language, Country, Variant, and Name, being their underscore separated combination.
