The Java Locale lookup(List<Locale.LanguageRange> priorityList, Collection<Locale> locales) method returns a Locale instance for the best-matching language tag using the lookup mechanism defined in RFC 4647.
DeclarationFollowing is the declaration for java.util.Locale.lookup() method
public static Locale lookup(List<Locale.LanguageRange> priorityList, Collection<Locale> locales)Parameters
priorityList − user's Language Priority List in which each language tag is sorted in descending order based on priority or weight.
locales − Locale instances used for matching.
Return ValueThis method returns the best matching Locale instance chosen based on priority or weight, or null if nothing matches.
ExceptionNullPointerException − if priorityList or locales is null
Getting Best Matched Language Tag Using Lookup on English, Japan Locales ExampleThe following example shows the usage of Java Locale lookup(List<Locale.LanguageRange>, Collection<Locale>) method. We're creating a string of comma separated locales and using that string, we've created a locale preference list. Now a list of locale is created and few locales are added. Using lookup() method, locales are searched and result is printed.
package com.tutorialspoint; import java.util.ArrayList; import java.util.List; import java.util.Locale; public class LocaleDemo { public static void main(String[] args) { String tags = Locale.ENGLISH.toLanguageTag() + "," + Locale.FRENCH.toLanguageTag(); List<Locale.LanguageRange> priorityList = Locale.LanguageRange.parse(tags); List<Locale> localeList = new ArrayList<>(); localeList.add(Locale.ENGLISH); localeList.add(Locale.JAPAN); Locale filteredTag = Locale.lookup(priorityList, localeList); System.out.println(filteredTag); } }Output
Let us compile and run the above program, this will produce the following result −

The following example shows the usage of Java Locale lookup(List<Locale.LanguageRange>, Collection<Locale>) method. We're creating a different string of comma separated locales and using that string, we've created a locale preference list. Now a list of locale is created and few locales are added. Using lookup() method, locales are searched and result is printed.
