NAME CLDR::Number - Localized number formatters using the Unicode CLDR VERSION This document describes CLDR::Number v0.02, built with the Unicode CLDR v24. This is an early release without full documentation. See CLDR::Number::TODO. SYNOPSIS use CLDR::Number; my $cldr = CLDR::Number->new(locale => 'es'); # decimals my $decf = $cldr->decimal_formatter; say $decf->format(1234.5); # '1 234,5' (Spanish) $decf->locale('es-MX'); say $decf->format(1234.5); # '1,234.5' (Mexican Spanish) # percents my $perf = $cldr->percent_formatter(locale => 'tr'); say $perf->format(0.05); # '%5' (Turkish) # currencies my $curf = $cldr->currency_formatter( locale => 'en', currency_code => 'USD', ); say $curf->format(9.99); # '$9.99' (English / USD) $curf->locale('en-CA'); say $curf->format(9.99); # 'US$9.99' (Canadian English / USD) $curf->locale('fr-CA'); say $curf->format(9.99); # '9,99 $US' (Canadian French / USD) DESCRIPTION Software localization includes much more than just translations. Numbers, prices, and even percents should all be localized based the user’s language, script, and region. Fortunately, the Unicode Common Locale Data Repository (CLDR) provides locale data and specifications for formatting numeric data to use with many of the world’s locales. This class provides common attributes shared among the supported formatter classes as well as methods to instantiate decimal, percent, and currency formatter objects. The value for any attribute (such as "locale") will be passed to the formatter objects on instantiation but can be overwritten by manually passing another value for the attribute or calling a setter method on the formatter object. Methods decimal_formatter Returns a decimal formatter, which is a CLDR::Number::Format::Decimal object instantiated with all of the attributes from your CLDR::Number object as well as any attributes passed to this method. percent_formatter Returns a percent formatter, which is a CLDR::Number::Format::Percent object instantiated with all of the attributes from your CLDR::Number object as well as any attributes passed to this method. currency_formatter Returns a currency formatter, which is a CLDR::Number::Format::Currency object instantiated with all of the attributes from your CLDR::Number object as well as any attributes passed to this method. Common Attributes Common attributes among all formatter objects. All string attributes are expected to be character strings, not encoded byte strings. locale Default: value of "default_locale" attribute if exists, otherwise "root" Valid: *Unicode locale identifier* Examples: "es" (Spanish), "es-ES" (European Spanish), "es-419" (Latin American Spanish), "zh-Hant" (Traditional Chinese), "zh-Hans" (Simplified Chinese), "chr" (Cherokee) The locale is case-insensitive and can use either "-" (hyphen-minus) or "_" (low line) as a separator. default_locale Default: *none* Valid: *Unicode locale identifier* Use this if you want a locale other than the generic "root" if the "locale" attribute is not set or not valid. decimal_sign Default: "." when "root" locale group_sign Default: "," when "root" locale plus_sign Default: "+" when "root" locale minus_sign Default: "-" when "root" locale cldr_version Value: 24 This is a read-only attribute that will always reflect the currently supported Unicode CLDR version.
