stri_locale_info {stringi} | R Documentation

## Query Given Locale

### Description

Provides some basic information on a given locale identifier.

### Usage

    stri_locale_info(locale = NULL)

### Arguments

`locale` | `NULL` or `""` for default locale, or a single string with locale identifier.

### Details

With this function you may obtain some basic information on any provided locale identifier, even if it is unsupported by ICU or if you pass a malformed locale identifier (the one that is not e.g. of the form Language_Country). See stringi-locale for discussion.

This function does nothing complicated. In many cases it is similar to a call to `as.list(stri_split_fixed(locale, "_", 3L)[[1]])`, with `locale` case mapped. It may be used, however, to get insight on how ICU understands a provided locale identifier.

### Value

Returns a list with the following named character strings: `Language`, `Country`, `Variant`, and `Name`, being their underscore separated combination.

### Examples

    stri_locale_info("pl_PL")
    stri_locale_info("Pl_pL") # the same result
