Basic Example
let myLoc = new Intl.Locale("fr-Latn-CA"); // Sets locale to Canadian French console.log(myLoc.toString()); // Prints out "fr-Latn-CA-u-ca-gregory" console.log(myLoc.baseName); // Prints out "fr-Latn-CA"
Example with options in the input string
// Sets language to Japanese, region to Japan, // calendar to Gregorian, hour cycle to 24 hours let japan = new Intl.Locale("ja-JP-u-ca-gregory-hc-24"); console.log(japan.toString()); // Prints out "ja-JP-u-ca-gregory-hc-h24" console.log(japan.baseName); // Prints out "ja-JP"
Example with options that override input string
// Input string indicates language as Dutch and region as Belgium, // but options object overrides the region and sets it to the Netherlands let dutch = new Intl.Locale("nl-Latn-BE", {region: "NL"}); console.log(dutch.baseName); // Prints out "nl-Latn-NL"
