PluralFormat
supports the creation of internationalized messages with plural inflection. It is based on plural selection, i.e. the caller specifies messages for each plural case that can appear in the user's language and the PluralFormat
selects the appropriate message based on the number.
Different languages have different ways to inflect plurals. Creating internationalized messages that include plural forms is only feasible when the framework is able to handle plural forms of all languages correctly. ChoiceFormat
doesn't handle this well, because it attaches a number interval to each message and selects the message whose interval contains a given number. This can only handle a finite number of intervals. But in some languages, like Polish, one plural case applies to infinitely many intervals (e.g., the plural case applies to numbers ending with 2, 3, or 4 except those ending with 12, 13, or 14). Thus ChoiceFormat
is not adequate.
PluralFormat
deals with this by breaking the problem into two parts:
PluralRules
that can define more complex conditions for a plural case than just a single interval. These plural rules define both what plural cases exist in a language, and to which numbers these cases apply. PluralFormat
Note: Typically, plural formatting is done via MessageFormat
with a plural
argument type, rather than using a stand-alone PluralFormat
.
This discussion assumes that you use PluralFormat
with a predefined set of plural rules. You can create one using one of the constructors that takes a locale
object. To specify the message pattern, you can either pass it to the constructor or set it explicitly using the applyPattern()
method. The format()
method takes a number object and selects the message of the matching plural case. This message will be returned.
The pattern text defines the message output for each plural case of the specified locale. Syntax:
pluralStyle = [offsetValue] (selector '{' message '}')+ offsetValue = "offset:" number selector = explicitValue | keyword explicitValue = '=' number // adjacent, no white space in between keyword = [^[[:Pattern_Syntax:][:Pattern_White_Space:]]]+ message: see MessageFormat
Pattern_White_Space between syntax elements is ignored, except between the {curly braces} and their sub-message, and between the '=' and the number of an explicitValue.
There are 6 predefined casekeyword in CLDR/ICU - 'zero', 'one', 'two', 'few', 'many' and 'other'. You always have to define a message text for the default plural case other
which is contained in every rule set. If you do not specify a message text for a particular plural case, the message text of the plural case other
gets assigned to this plural case.
When formatting, the input number is first matched against the explicitValue clauses. If there is no exact-number match, then a keyword is selected by calling the PluralRules
with the input number minus the offset. (The offset defaults to 0 if it is omitted from the pattern string.) If there is no clause with that keyword, then the "other" clauses is returned.
An unquoted pound sign (#
) in the selected sub-message itself (i.e., outside of arguments nested in the sub-message) is replaced by the input number minus the offset. The number-minus-offset value is formatted using a NumberFormat
for the PluralFormat
's locale. If you need special number formatting, you have to use a MessageFormat
and explicitly specify a NumberFormat
argument. Note: That argument is formatting without subtracting the offset! If you need a custom format and have a non-zero offset, then you need to pass the number-minus-offset value as a separate parameter.
For a usage example, see the MessageFormat class documentation.
If you need to use PluralFormat
with custom rules, you can create a PluralRules
object and pass it to PluralFormat
's constructor. If you also specify a locale in this constructor, this locale will be used to format the number in the message texts.

, see PluralRules.

Before calling, set parse_pos.index to the offset you want to start parsing at in the source. After calling, parse_pos.index is the end of the text you parsed. If error occurs, index is unchanged.
When parsing, leading whitespace is discarded (with a successful parse), while trailing whitespace is left as is.
See Format::parseObject() for more.
