A locale matcher to resolve partial locales or find fallback locales. iLib is a cross-engine library of internationalization (i18n) classes written in pure JS
npm install ilib-localematcherRepresent a locale matcher instance, which is used
to see which locales can be matched with each other in
various ways.
``
npm install ilib-localematcher
or
yarn add ilib-localematcher
``
The LocaleMatcher class does the following things:
* get the most likely full locale for a partial locale
* also get a minimal version of that full locale
* compare two locales together to see how well they match
* find region containment information
* which UN.49 region a country is in. For example, Japan
is in East Asia.
* which larger UN.49 regions a smaller UN.49 region is in.
For example, East Asia is in Asia.
* find the smallest common UN.49 region that two regions are both in
* for example, the smallest common region between Japan
and India is "Asia".
* find the macrolanguage for those language codes that represent a
subtype of a macrolanguage
* a macrolanguage is a collection of very closely related
languages, a little further apart than dialects, but not
quite distinct enough to be considered completely separate
languages.
* for example, the language code "nb" is for Norwegian Bokmal.
Its macro language code is "no" for Norwegian.
* This is useful because a user's locale may be set to the
subtype, but the translations may be represented with the
macrolanguage code instead. It would be useful to show that
user the macrolanguage translations rather than fall back
to the source language for your app. (English?)

for specifics.
