34 * <p><code>SelectFormat</code> supports the creation of internationalized
35 * messages by selecting phrases based on keywords. The pattern specifies
36 * how to map keywords to phrases and provides a default phrase. The
37 * object provided to the format method is a string that's matched
38 * against the keywords. If there is a match, the corresponding phrase
39 * is selected; otherwise, the default phrase is used.</p>
40 *
41 * <h4>Using <code>SelectFormat</code> for Gender Agreement</h4>
42 *
43 * <p>The main use case for the select format is gender based inflection.
44 * When names or nouns are inserted into sentences, their gender can affect pr onouns,
45 * verb forms, articles, and adjectives. Special care needs to be
46 * taken for the case where the gender cannot be determined.
47 * The impact varies between languages:</p>
48 * \htmlonly
49 * <ul>
50 * <li>English has three genders, and unknown gender is handled as a special
51 * case. Names use the gender of the named person (if known), nouns referring
52 * to people use natural gender, and inanimate objects are usually neutral.
53 * The gender only affects pronouns: "he", "she", "it", "they".
54 *
55 * <li>German differs from English in that the gender of nouns is rather
56 * arbitrary, even for nouns referring to people ("M&#x00E4;dchen", girl, is n eutral).
57 * The gender affects pronouns ("er", "sie", "es"), articles ("der", "die",
58 * "das"), and adjective forms ("guter Mann", "gute Frau", "gutes M&#x00E4;dch en").
59 *
60 * <li>French has only two genders; as in German the gender of nouns
61 * is rather arbitrary - for sun and moon, the genders
62 * are the opposite of those in German. The gender affects
63 * pronouns ("il", "elle"), articles ("le", "la"),
64 * adjective forms ("bon", "bonne"), and sometimes
65 * verb forms ("all&#x00E9;", "all&#x00E9;e").
66 *
67 * <li>Polish distinguishes five genders (or noun classes),
68 * human masculine, animate non-human masculine, inanimate masculine,
69 * feminine, and neuter.
70 * </ul>
71 * \endhtmlonly
72 * <p>Some other languages have noun classes that are not related to gender,
73 * but similar in grammatical use.
74 * Some African languages have around 20 noun classes.</p>
75 *
76 * <p>To enable localizers to create sentence patterns that take their
77 * language's gender dependencies into consideration, software has to provide
78 * information about the gender associated with a noun or name to
79 * <code>MessageFormat</code>.
80 * Two main cases can be distinguished:</p>
81 *
82 * <ul>
83 * <li>For people, natural gender information should be maintained for each pe rson.
84 * The keywords "male", "female", "mixed" (for groups of people)
85 * and "unknown" are used.
86 *
87 * <li>For nouns, grammatical gender information should be maintained for
88 * each noun and per language, e.g., in resource bundles.
89 * The keywords "masculine", "feminine", and "neuter" are commonly used,
90 * but some languages may require other keywords.
91 * </ul>
92 *
93 * <p>The resulting keyword is provided to <code>MessageFormat</code> as a
94 * parameter separate from the name or noun it's associated with. For example,
95 * to generate a message such as "Jean went to Paris", three separate argument s
96 * would be provided: The name of the person as argument 0, the gender of
97 * the person as argument 1, and the name of the city as argument 2.
98 * The sentence pattern for English, where the gender of the person has
99 * no impact on this simple sentence, would not refer to argument 1 at all:</p >
100 *
101 * <pre>{0} went to {2}.</pre>
102 *
103 * <p>The sentence pattern for French, where the gender of the person affects
104 * the form of the participle, uses a select format based on argument 1:</p>
105 *
106 * \htmlonly<pre>{0} est {1, select, female {all&#x00E9;e} other {all&#x00E9;}} &#x00E0; {2}.</pre>\endhtmlonly
107 *
108 * <p>Patterns can be nested, so that it's possible to handle interactions of
109 * number and gender where necessary. For example, if the above sentence shoul d
110 * allow for the names of several people to be inserted, the following sentenc e
111 * pattern can be used (with argument 0 the list of people's names,
112 * argument 1 the number of people, argument 2 their combined gender, and
113 * argument 3 the city name):</p>
114 *
115 * \htmlonly
116 * <pre>{0} {1, plural,
117 * one {est {2, select, female {all&#x00E9;e} other {all&#x00E 9;}}}
118 * other {sont {2, select, female {all&#x00E9;es} other {all&#x 00E9;s}}}
119 * }&#x00E0; {3}.</pre>
120 * \endhtmlonly
121 *
122 * <h4>Patterns and Their Interpretation</h4>
123 *
124 * <p>The <code>SelectFormat</code> pattern text defines the phrase output
125 * for each user-defined keyword.
126 * The pattern is a sequence of <code><i>keyword</i>{<i>phrase</i>}</code>
127 * clauses.
128 * Each clause assigns the phrase <code><i>phrase</i></code>
129 * to the user-defined <code><i>keyword</i></code>.</p>
130 *
131 * <p>Keywords must match the pattern [a-zA-Z][a-zA-Z0-9_-]*; keywords
132 * that don't match this pattern result in the error code
133 * <code>U_ILLEGAL_CHARACTER</code>.
134 * You always have to define a phrase for the default keyword
135 * <code>other</code>; this phrase is returned when the keyword
136 * provided to
137 * the <code>format</code> method matches no other keyword.
138 * If a pattern does not provide a phrase for <code>other</code>, the method
139 * it's provided to returns the error <code>U_DEFAULT_KEYWORD_MISSING</code>.
140 * If a pattern provides more than one phrase for the same keyword, the
141 * error <code>U_DUPLICATE_KEYWORD</code> is returned.
142 * <br>
143 * Spaces between <code><i>keyword</i></code> and
144 * <code>{<i>phrase</i>}</code> will be ignored; spaces within
145 * <code>{<i>phrase</i>}</code> will be preserved.<p>
146 *
147 * <p>The phrase for a particular select case may contain other message
148 * format patterns. <code>SelectFormat</code> preserves these so that you
149 * can use the strings produced by <code>SelectFormat</code> with other
150 * formatters. If you are using <code>SelectFormat</code> inside a
151 * <code>MessageFormat</code> pattern, <code>MessageFormat</code> will
152 * automatically evaluate the resulting format pattern.
153 * Thus, curly braces (<code>{</code>, <code>}</code>) are <i>only</i> allowed
154 * in phrases to define a nested format pattern.</p>
155 *
156 * <p>Example:
157 * \htmlonly
158 *
159 * UErrorCode status = U_ZERO_ERROR;
160 * MessageFormat *msgFmt = new MessageFormat(UnicodeString("{0} est {1, select , female {all&#x00E9;e} other {all&#x00E9;}} &#x00E0; Paris."), Locale("fr"), s tatus);
161 * if (U_FAILURE(status)) {
162 * return;
163 * }
164 * FieldPosition ignore(FieldPosition::DONT_CARE);
165 * UnicodeString result;
166 *
167 * char* str1= "Kirti,female";
168 * Formattable args1[] = {"Kirti","female"};
169 * msgFmt->format(args1, 2, result, ignore, status);
170 * cout << "Input is " << str1 << " and result is: " << result << endl;
171 * delete msgFmt;
172 *
173 * \endhtmlonly
174 * </p>
175 *
176 * Produces the output:<br>
177 * \htmlonly
178 * <code>Kirti est all&#x00E9;e &#x00E0; Paris.</code>
179 * \endhtmlonly
