forLocale

@Deprecated
public abstract PluralRules forLocale(ULocale locale,
                                                  PluralRules.PluralType type)

Deprecated. This API is ICU internal only.

Provides access to the predefined PluralRules for a given locale and the plural type.

ICU defines plural rules for many locales based on CLDR Language Plural Rules. For these predefined rules, see CLDR page at http://unicode.org/repos/cldr-tmp/trunk/diff/supplemental/language_plural_rules.html

Parameters:

locale - The locale for which a PluralRules object is returned.

type - The plural type (e.g., cardinal or ordinal).

Returns:

The predefined PluralRules object for this locale. If there's no predefined rules for this locale, the rules for the closest parent in the locale hierarchy that has one will be returned. The final fallback always returns the default rules.

forLocale

@Deprecated
public final PluralRules forLocale(ULocale locale)

Deprecated. This API is ICU internal only.

Utility for getting CARDINAL rules.

Parameters:

locale - the locale

Returns:

plural rules.

getAvailableULocales

@Deprecated
public abstract ULocale[] getAvailableULocales()

Deprecated. This API is ICU internal only.

Returns the locales for which there is plurals data.

getFunctionalEquivalent

@Deprecated
public abstract ULocale getFunctionalEquivalent(ULocale locale,
                                                            boolean[] isAvailable)

Deprecated. This API is ICU internal only.

Returns the 'functionally equivalent' locale with respect to plural rules. Calling PluralRules.forLocale with the functionally equivalent locale, and with the provided locale, returns rules that behave the same.
All locales with the same functionally equivalent locale have plural rules that behave the same. This is not exaustive; there may be other locales whose plural rules behave the same that do not have the same equivalent locale.

Parameters:

locale - the locale to check

isAvailable - if not null and of length > 0, this will hold 'true' at index 0 if locale is directly defined (without fallback) as having plural rules

Returns:

the functionally-equivalent locale

getDefaultFactory

@Deprecated
public static PluralRulesLoader getDefaultFactory()

Deprecated. This API is ICU internal only.

Returns the default factory.

hasOverride

@Deprecated
public abstract boolean hasOverride(ULocale locale)

Deprecated. This API is ICU internal only.

Returns whether or not there are overrides.
