#locale

Get the localized display name of a code in any language — countries and regions, languages, currencies, scripts and calendars. Pass a code, a type and a locale and the name endpoint returns the right name: US as region in fr gives "États-Unis", de as language in fr gives "allemand", EUR as currency gives "Euro", and the same code reads correctly in German, Japanese, Arabic or any other locale. The list endpoint returns every code of a type localized and sorted in that locale's collation — ideal for building a country, language or currency dropdown in any language. Powered by the platform's full ICU data (Intl.DisplayNames) and computed locally with no network calls. Built for internationalised forms and pickers, multilingual UIs, localized reports and onboarding. A localized-names resolver — distinct from country reference data in English (countries), number and currency formatting (numberformat) and locale date formatting (datelocale). No upstream key, no cache.

Humanise timestamps and format dates for any locale and timezone using full ICU. The relative endpoint turns an instant into a localised relative phrase against now (or a given reference time) — "3 hours ago", "vor 3 Stunden", "in 2 days", "il y a 5 minutes" — automatically choosing the best unit from seconds to years. The format endpoint renders a localised date/time string (e.g. "mardi 2 juin 2026 à 15:30" or "2026年6月2日 22:30:00"), honouring the locale (BCP 47), a named IANA timezone, the chosen date and time styles (full/long/medium/short) and 12/24-hour preference, and returns a parts breakdown for custom displays. Pass dates as ISO 8601 or unix timestamps. Everything is computed locally with no network calls. Ideal for internationalised UIs, activity feeds, notifications, comments and dashboards. A relative-time and locale date formatter — distinct from current-time-in-a-timezone (time), the UTC parse/token toolkit (datetime) and number/currency formatting (numberformat). No upstream key, no cache.

Format numbers for any locale using full ICU data — the correct way to display money, percentages and measurements per region. Pass a value and a style and the format endpoint returns the locale-correct string: decimal, currency (any ISO 4217 code, with the right symbol and grouping — e.g. 1.234.567,89 € in de-DE, $1,234,567.89 in en-US, ￥1,234,567 in ja-JP, and the Indian lakh grouping 12,34,567.89 in hi-IN), percent, or unit (e.g. 80 km/h). Control the locale (BCP 47), minimum/maximum fraction digits, grouping, sign display and notation (standard, scientific, engineering or compact like 1.2M). A parts endpoint returns the formatToParts breakdown (integer, group, decimal, fraction, currency symbol…) for building custom-styled displays. Everything is computed locally with no network calls. Ideal for internationalised UIs, invoices and receipts, dashboards and reports. A locale number/currency formatter — distinct from foreign-exchange rates (currency), number-to-words (numberwords) and the numeral-base converter (baseconvert). No upstream key, no cache.

IETF BCP 47 language tags (locales) as an API, built on the IANA Language Subtag Registry — 9,200+ subtags (languages, scripts, regions, variants, extlangs and grandfathered tags). The headline /parse endpoint validates and decomposes any language tag (e.g. zh-Hant-TW → Chinese + Han Traditional script + Taiwan; en-Latn-US, de-CH-1996, i-klingon) into its labelled subtags, flags invalid or deprecated parts, and recognises pre-registered redundant/grandfathered tags. Look up an individual subtag (de → German, Hant → Han Traditional, 419 → Latin America), or search the registry by description. Ideal for internationalization (i18n), locale validation, content negotiation and language-aware apps.
