View a table with info on supported locales

Many of the fmt_*() functions have a locale argument that makes locale-based formatting easier. The table generated by the info_locales() function provides a quick reference to all the available locales. The locale identifiers are provided (base locale ID, common display name) along with the each locale's group and decimal separator marks. A formatted numeric example is provided (based on the value of 11027) to demonstrate the default formatting of each locale.

Usage

info_locales(begins_with = NULL)

Arguments

begins_with

Show locales beginning with a specific letter

scalar<character> // default: NULL (optional)

Providing a single letter will filter locales to only those that begin with that letter in their locale ID. The default (NULL) will produce a table with all locales displayed

Value

An object of class gt_tbl.

Details

There are 574 locales, which means that a very long display table is provided by default. To trim down the output table size, we can provide an initial letter corresponding to the base locale ID to begins_with. This will filter locales in the info table to just the set that begins with the supplied letter.

Examples

Get a table of info on all of the locales supported by gt.
