What does a locale look like in ICU?
ICU locales are lightweight, and they are represented by just a string. Lightweight means that there is just a string to represent a locale and nothing more. Many platforms have numbers and other data structures to represent a locale, but ICU has one simple platform independent string to represent a locale. ICU locales usually contain an ISO-639 language name (2-3 characters), an ISO-3166 country name (2-3 characters), and a variant name which is user specified. When a language or country is not represented by these standards, ICU uses 3 characters to represent that part of the locale. All three parts are separated by an underscore “_”. For example, US English is “en_US”, and German in Germany with the Euro symbol is represented as “de_DE_EURO”. Traditionally the language part of the locale is lowercase, the country is uppercase and the variant is uppercase. More details are available from the Locale Chapter of this User’s Guide.
