Hello together,

is there a way to get the locale list out of ICU, like listed here:
http://demo.icu-project.org/icu-bin/locexp

I would also need the "windows Id" for it, which seems also be defined:

Please ask end user questions on the general mailing list, this list
is about developing the language :)

Cheers.

Because search results, pointed me to a direction, that this feature is
currently not available, i though internals is the way to go. Next time i
will ask my question in the right list, sorry for this.

Thanks a lot for the answer!



Shouldn't this method be place (also) in Locale class? Also the
Method: getKeywordValuesForLocale
Most people won't search this in the Calendar class, but in Locale where
already such methods are available.


There are a lot of definitions/rules inside of the locale, which are
"partly" accessable (
http://demo.icu-project.org/icu-bin/locexp?d_=de&_=de_AT)
- number formatting rules
- day names
- ...

But some things are not accessible like:
- windows locale id
- output the sort rule (sorting can be done, but no output for the rule
itself)
- ...


A method to directly read the ICU data would be great for this.



Best regards
Martin
