| 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 ("Mädchen", 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 Mädch
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 ("allé", "allée"). | |
| 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 {allée} other {allé}}
à {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 {allée} other {all
9;}}} | |
| 118 * other {sont {2, select, female {allées} other {all&#x
00E9;s}}} | |
| 119 * }à {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 {allée} other {allé}} à 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 allée à Paris.</code> | |
| 179 * \endhtmlonly | |
