Locale

Edit this page

Warning: You are browsing the documentation for Symfony 2.0, which is no longer maintained.

Read the updated version of this page for Symfony 7.0 (the current stable version).

Locale

Validates that a value is a valid locale.

The "value" for each locale is either the two letter ISO639-1 language code (e.g. fr), or the language code followed by an underscore (_), then the ISO3166 country code (e.g. fr_FR for French/France).
