Method Detail

setLanguageProperties

public void setLanguageProperties(String lang,
                                  Properties properties)

Set properties for a particular language. The properties available are specific to the LocalizerFactory in use. Default implementation does nothing.

Parameters:

lang - the language

properties - properties of this language

Since:

9.2

getNumberer

public abstract Numberer getNumberer(String language,
                                     String country)

Get the numberer for a given language

Parameters:

language - the language code (for example "de" or "en-GB"). The value may be null, in which case a default language should be assumed.

country - the country, as used in format-date(). This is not the country associated with the language, but the one associated with the date to be formatted. It is primarily used to determine a civil time zone name. The value may be null, in which case a default country should be assumed.

Returns:

the appropriate numberer, or null if none is available (in which case the English numberer will be used)

copy

public LocalizerFactory copy()

Copy the state of this factory to create a new LocalizerFactory. The default implementation returns this LocalizerFactory unchanged (which should only be done if it is immutable).

Returns:

a copy of this LocalizerFactory
