Crate icu_locid_transform

Canonicalization of locale identifiers based on CLDR data.

This module is published as its own crate (icu_locid_transform) and as part of the icu crate. See the latter for more details on the ICU4X project.

It currently supports locale canonicalization based upon the canonicalization algorithm from UTS #35: Unicode LDML 3. LocaleId Canonicalization, as well as the minimize and maximize likely subtags algorithms as described in UTS #35: Unicode LDML 3. Likely Subtags.

The maximize method potentially updates a passed in locale in place depending up the results of running the ‘Add Likely Subtags’ algorithm from UTS #35: Unicode LDML 3. Likely Subtags.

This minimize method returns a new Locale that is the result of running the ‘Remove Likely Subtags’ algorithm from UTS #35: Unicode LDML 3. Likely Subtags.

Examples

use icu::locid::Locale;
use icu::locid_transform::{LocaleCanonicalizer, TransformResult};

let lc = LocaleCanonicalizer::try_new_unstable(&icu_testdata::unstable())
    .expect("create failed");

let mut locale: Locale = "ja-Latn-fonipa-hepburn-heploc"
    .parse()
    .expect("parse failed");
assert_eq!(lc.canonicalize(&mut locale), TransformResult::Modified);
assert_eq!(locale.to_string(), "ja-Latn-alalc97-fonipa");

use icu::locid::Locale;
use icu::locid_transform::{LocaleExpander, TransformResult};

let lc = LocaleExpander::try_new_unstable(&icu_testdata::unstable())
    .expect("create failed");

let mut locale: Locale = "zh-CN".parse().expect("parse failed");
assert_eq!(lc.maximize(&mut locale), TransformResult::Modified);
assert_eq!(locale.to_string(), "zh-Hans-CN");

let mut locale: Locale = "zh-Hant-TW".parse().expect("parse failed");
assert_eq!(lc.maximize(&mut locale), TransformResult::Unmodified);
assert_eq!(locale.to_string(), "zh-Hant-TW");

use icu::locid::Locale;
use icu::locid_transform::{LocaleExpander, TransformResult};

let lc = LocaleExpander::try_new_unstable(&icu_testdata::unstable())
    .expect("create failed");

let mut locale: Locale = "zh-Hans-CN".parse().expect("parse failed");
assert_eq!(lc.minimize(&mut locale), TransformResult::Modified);
assert_eq!(locale.to_string(), "zh");

let mut locale: Locale = "zh".parse().expect("parse failed");
assert_eq!(lc.minimize(&mut locale), TransformResult::Unmodified);
assert_eq!(locale.to_string(), "zh");
