- /**
- * <p><code>SelectFormat</code> supports the creation of internationalized
- * messages by selecting phrases based on keywords. The pattern specifies
- * how to map keywords to phrases and provides a default phrase. The
- * object provided to the format method is a string that's matched
- * against the keywords. If there is a match, the corresponding phrase
- * is selected; otherwise, the default phrase is used.</p>
- *
- * <h4>Using <code>SelectFormat</code> for Gender Agreement</h4>
- *
- * <p>Note: Typically, select formatting is done via <code>MessageFormat</code>
- * with a <code>select</code> argument type,
- * rather than using a stand-alone <code>SelectFormat</code>.</p>
- *
- * <p>The main use case for the select format is gender based inflection.
- * When names or nouns are inserted into sentences, their gender can affect pronouns,
- * verb forms, articles, and adjectives. Special care needs to be
- * taken for the case where the gender cannot be determined.
- * The impact varies between languages:</p>
- * \htmlonly
- * <ul>
- * <li>English has three genders, and unknown gender is handled as a special
- * case. Names use the gender of the named person (if known), nouns referring
- * to people use natural gender, and inanimate objects are usually neutral.
- * The gender only affects pronouns: "he", "she", "it", "they".
- *
- * <li>German differs from English in that the gender of nouns is rather
- * arbitrary, even for nouns referring to people ("Mädchen", girl, is neutral).
- * The gender affects pronouns ("er", "sie", "es"), articles ("der", "die",
- * "das"), and adjective forms ("guter Mann", "gute Frau", "gutes Mädchen").
- *
- * <li>French has only two genders; as in German the gender of nouns
- * is rather arbitrary - for sun and moon, the genders
- * are the opposite of those in German. The gender affects
- * pronouns ("il", "elle"), articles ("le", "la"),
- * adjective forms ("bon", "bonne"), and sometimes
- * verb forms ("allé", "allée").
- *
- * <li>Polish distinguishes five genders (or noun classes),
- * human masculine, animate non-human masculine, inanimate masculine,
- * feminine, and neuter.
- * </ul>
- * \endhtmlonly
- * <p>Some other languages have noun classes that are not related to gender,
- * but similar in grammatical use.
- * Some African languages have around 20 noun classes.</p>
- *
- * <p><b>Note:</b>For the gender of a <i>person</i> in a given sentence,
- * we usually need to distinguish only between female, male and other/unknown.</p>
- *
- * <p>To enable localizers to create sentence patterns that take their
- * language's gender dependencies into consideration, software has to provide
- * information about the gender associated with a noun or name to
- * <code>MessageFormat</code>.
- * Two main cases can be distinguished:</p>
- *
- * <ul>
- * <li>For people, natural gender information should be maintained for each person.
- * Keywords like "male", "female", "mixed" (for groups of people)
- * and "unknown" could be used.
- *
- * <li>For nouns, grammatical gender information should be maintained for
- * each noun and per language, e.g., in resource bundles.
- * The keywords "masculine", "feminine", and "neuter" are commonly used,
- * but some languages may require other keywords.
- * </ul>
- *
- * <p>The resulting keyword is provided to <code>MessageFormat</code> as a
- * parameter separate from the name or noun it's associated with. For example,
- * to generate a message such as "Jean went to Paris", three separate arguments
- * would be provided: The name of the person as argument 0, the gender of
- * the person as argument 1, and the name of the city as argument 2.
- * The sentence pattern for English, where the gender of the person has
- * no impact on this simple sentence, would not refer to argument 1 at all:</p>
- *
- * <pre>{0} went to {2}.</pre>
- *
- * <p><b>Note:</b> The entire sentence should be included (and partially repeated)
- * inside each phrase. Otherwise translators would have to be trained on how to
- * move bits of the sentence in and out of the select argument of a message.
- * (The examples below do not follow this recommendation!)</p>
- *
- * <p>The sentence pattern for French, where the gender of the person affects
- * the form of the participle, uses a select format based on argument 1:</p>
- *
- * \htmlonly<pre>{0} est {1, select, female {allée} other {allé}} à {2}.</pre>\endhtmlonly
- *
- * <p>Patterns can be nested, so that it's possible to handle interactions of
- * number and gender where necessary. For example, if the above sentence should
- * allow for the names of several people to be inserted, the following sentence
- * pattern can be used (with argument 0 the list of people's names,
- * argument 1 the number of people, argument 2 their combined gender, and
- * argument 3 the city name):</p>
- *
- * \htmlonly
- * <pre>{0} {1, plural,
- * one {est {2, select, female {allée} other {allé}}}
- * other {sont {2, select, female {allées} other {allés}}}
- * }à {3}.</pre>
- * \endhtmlonly
- *
- * <h4>Patterns and Their Interpretation</h4>
- *
- * <p>The <code>SelectFormat</code> pattern string defines the phrase output
- * for each user-defined keyword.
- * The pattern is a sequence of (keyword, message) pairs.
- * A keyword is a "pattern identifier": [^[[:Pattern_Syntax:][:Pattern_White_Space:]]]+</p>
- *
- * <p>Each message is a MessageFormat pattern string enclosed in {curly braces}.</p>
- *
- * <p>You always have to define a phrase for the default keyword
- * <code>other</code>; this phrase is returned when the keyword
- * provided to
- * the <code>format</code> method matches no other keyword.
- * If a pattern does not provide a phrase for <code>other</code>, the method
- * it's provided to returns the error <code>U_DEFAULT_KEYWORD_MISSING</code>.
- * <br>
- * Pattern_White_Space between keywords and messages is ignored.
- * Pattern_White_Space within a message is preserved and output.</p>
- *
- * <p><pre>Example:
- * \htmlonly
- *
- * UErrorCode status = U_ZERO_ERROR;
- * MessageFormat *msgFmt = new MessageFormat(UnicodeString("{0} est {1, select, female {allée} other {allé}} à Paris."), Locale("fr"), status);
- * if (U_FAILURE(status)) {
- * return;
- * }
- * FieldPosition ignore(FieldPosition::DONT_CARE);
- * UnicodeString result;
- *
- * char* str1= "Kirti,female";
- * Formattable args1[] = {"Kirti","female"};
- * msgFmt->format(args1, 2, result, ignore, status);
- * cout << "Input is " << str1 << " and result is: " << result << endl;
- * delete msgFmt;
- *
- * \endhtmlonly
- * </pre>
- * </p>
- *
- * Produces the output:<br>
- * \htmlonly
- * <code>Kirti est allée à Paris.</code>
- * \endhtmlonly
