more for the i18n folks (everyone else avert your eyes ;-): after poking around
a bit i can see that the format() method works w/out a wrapper if you pass in
the ruleset name. cool, i've been out-researched ;-) but many locales have more
than one ruleset, "%default" (one thousand and one) & "%simplified" (one
thousand one). there are also many where the "default" ruleset isn't named
"%default" but rather "%main" (italian, farsi, french) or in the case of german
locales "%alt-ones" and in japan you have "%traditional" (ä¸åä¸) and
"%financial" (壱å壱). if i swap to pure cf, then the user will need to know
which ruleset goes w/which locale (which is a bit contrary to what i think are
good i18n practices). since icu4j is based on the cldr (common locale data
repository) project it's likely the rulesets/locales will change over time so
can't really hardcode these in the function. i guess the java wrapper is still
the safest approach:
import com.ibm.icu.util.ULocale;
import java.lang.Double;
import com.ibm.icu.text.RuleBasedNumberFormat;
public class ruleBasedFormatter {
public final static String rbFormat(String thisLocale, Double thisNumber, int
thisFormat) {
/* thisFormat:
3=duration (time)
2=ordinal (2nd, 3rd, etc.),
1=spellout (one hundred and one)
*/
ULocale locale = new ULocale(thisLocale);
RuleBasedNumberFormat spelloutFormatter = new
RuleBasedNumberFormat(locale, thisFormat);
String spelledOut = spelloutFormatter.format(thisNumber);
return spelledOut;
}
}
