Example 2 shows the results of Phone locale guessing with the following locales installed: AREGY, ITITA, ZHCHN. Note the results for Example 2 (804-774-1000) depend on the locale installed. In the first table above, the ENUSA locale is selected. With this set of locales installed, the ITITA locale is selected. The locale for the final example cannot be determined because the DEDEU locale is not installed. No other locale matches the format for this phone number due to the presence of the German country calling code +49. |
