Enclosing class:
PluralRules
public static enum PluralRules.Category extends Enum<PluralRules.Category>
CLDR's six cardinal categories. A language uses a subset; every language uses OTHER for at least something, except where an integer can never reach it (Polish and Russian, whose other is a fraction's).

A 1.x minor release may add constants to this enum: a switch over it needs a default branch.

  • Enum Constant Details

    • ZERO

      public static final PluralRules.Category ZERO
      Arabic's zero. Not "no items": a form a language uses for the number 0.

    • ONE

      public static final PluralRules.Category ONE
      The singular, where a language has one.

    • TWO

      public static final PluralRules.Category TWO
      The dual: Arabic and Hebrew.

    • FEW

      public static final PluralRules.Category FEW
      The small plural: Czech's 2–4, Polish's and Russian's 2–4 by last digit.

    • MANY

      public static final PluralRules.Category MANY
      The large plural: Polish's and Russian's 5–20 by last digits, Arabic's 11–99.

    • OTHER

      public static final PluralRules.Category OTHER
      Everything else, and the only form in languages that do not inflect for number.

  • Method Details

    • values

      public static PluralRules.Category[] values()

      name - the name of the enum constant to be returned.
      Returns:
      the enum constant with the specified name
      Throws:
      IllegalArgumentException - if this enum class has no constant with the specified name

    • suffix

      public String suffix()
      The suffix this category takes in a catalog key: …loadedAnnouncement.few.
