Method: CSL::Locale#set

Defined in:
lib/csl/locale.rb

#set(locale) ⇒ self

Sets language and region according to the passed-in locale string. If the region part is not defined by the string, this method will set the region to the default region for the given language.

Examples:

locale.set('en')    #-> sets language to :en, region to :US
locale.set('de-AT') #-> sets language to :de, region to :AT
locale.set('-DE')   #-> sets langauge to :de, region to :DE

Returns:

  • (self)

Raises:

  • (ArgumentError) —

    if the argument is no valid locale string. A valid locale string is based on the syntax of IETF language tags; it consists of either a language or region tag (or both), separated by a hyphen.
