Examples
Using supportedLocalesOf()
Assuming a runtime that supports Indonesian and German but not Balinese in number formatting, supportedLocalesOf
returns the Indonesian and German language tags unchanged, even though pinyin
collation is neither relevant to number formatting nor used with Indonesian, and a specialized German for Indonesia is unlikely to be supported. Note the specification of the "lookup"
algorithm here — a "best fit"
matcher might decide that Indonesian is an adequate match for Balinese since most Balinese speakers also understand Indonesian, and therefore return the Balinese language tag as well.
const locales = ["ban", "id-u-co-pinyin", "de-ID"];
const options = { localeMatcher: "lookup" };
console.log(Intl.NumberFormat.supportedLocalesOf(locales, options));
// ["id-u-co-pinyin", "de-ID"]
