<div class="textblock"><p>The <code>std::locale::name</code> function provides very limited information about a locale. Such a name is platform- and compiler-dependent, and is useless for Boost.Locale. There is no way to change it, so for all locales created by Boost.Locale, <code>name()</code> returns the same value as <code>name()</code> for <code>std::locale::classic()</code>.</p>
<p>Thus an additional facet was created, giving more precise information: <a class="el" href="classboost_1_1locale_1_1info.html" title="a facet that holds general information about locale ">boost::locale::info</a>. It has the following member functions:</p>
<ul>
<li><a class="el" href="classboost_1_1locale_1_1info.html#af8181bf226f369548c030220932323b9">std::string name()</a> &ndash; the full name of the locale, for example <code>en_US.UTF-8</code> </li>
<li><a class="el" href="classboost_1_1locale_1_1info.html#a7c56b9df3aba82649afc66c06192c7df">std::string language()</a> &ndash; the ISO-639 language code of the current locale, for example "en".</li>
<li><a class="el" href="classboost_1_1locale_1_1info.html#a249c20e36da6827a8dc8b12a8342a7dc">std::string country()</a> &ndash; the ISO-3199 country code of the current locale, for example "US".</li>
<li><a class="el" href="classboost_1_1locale_1_1info.html#a2e949e4362c8f0195e2a645fe875f1b4">std::string variant()</a> &ndash; the variant of current locale, for example "euro".</li>
<li><a class="el" href="classboost_1_1locale_1_1info.html#a1979a5d7b90604c45e856a139c68f5ba">std::string encoding()</a> &ndash; the encoding used for <code>char</code> based strings, for example "UTF-8"</li>
<li><a class="el" href="classboost_1_1locale_1_1info.html#aafbbb5c291f60ce6fc3bc056859ba181">bool utf8()</a> &ndash; a fast way to check whether the encoding is UTF-8.</li>
</ul>
<p>For example:</p>
<div class="fragment"><div class="line">cout &lt;&lt; <span class="stringliteral">&quot;The language code is &quot;</span> &lt;&lt; std::use_facet&lt;boost::locale::info&gt;(some_locale).language() &lt;&lt; endl;</div>
