@spec fallback_locale_names(Cldr.LanguageTag.t() | Cldr.Locale.locale_reference()) ::
  {:ok, [Cldr.Locale.locale_name(), ...]} | {:error, {module(), String.t()}}

Returns the list of fallback locale names, starting with the provided locale name.

Fallbacks are a list of locate names which can be used to resolve translation or other localization data if such localised data does not exist for this specific locale..

# Fallbacks are typically formed by progressively

locale_for_territory(territory)

View Source (since 2.26.0)
@spec locale_for_territory(Cldr.Locale.territory_code()) ::
  {:ok, Cldr.LanguageTag.t()} | {:error, {module(), String.t()}}

Returns the "best fit" locale for a given territory.

Using the population percentage data from CLDR, the language most commonly spoken in the given territory is used to form a locale name which is then validated against the given backend.

First a territory-specific locale is validated and if that fails, the base language only is validate.

For example, if the territory is AU then then the language most spoken is "en". First, the locale "en-AU" is validated and if that fails, "en" is validated.

locale_from_host(host, options \\ [])

View Source (since 2.26.0)
@spec locale_from_host(String.t(), Keyword.t()) ::
  {:ok, Cldr.LanguageTag.t()} | {:error, {module(), String.t()}}

Returns a "best fit" locale for a host name.

arguments

Arguments

  • host is any valid host name

  • options is a keyword list of options. The default is [].

options

Options

  • :tlds is a list of territory codes as upper-cased atoms that are to be considered as top-level domains. See Cldr.Locale.locale_from_host/2 for the default list.

returns

Returns

  • {:ok, langauge_tag} or

  • {:error, {exception, reason}}

notes

Notes

Certain top-level domains have become associated with content underlated to the territory for who the domain is registered. Therefore Google (and perhaps others) do not associate these TLDs as belonging to the territory but rather are considered generic top-level domain names.

examples

Examples

iex> Plausible.Cldr.Locale.locale_from_host "a.b.com.au"
Elixir.Plausible.Cldr.validate_locale(:"en-AU")

iex> Plausible.Cldr.Locale.locale_from_host("a.b.com.tv")
{:error,
 {Cldr.UnknownLocaleError, "No locale was identified for territory \"tv\""}}

iex> Plausible.Cldr.Locale.locale_from_host("a.b.com")

 {Cldr.UnknownLocaleError, "No locale was identified for territory \"com\""}}
