Method Detail

getSourceOfTruthLocale

java.util.Locale getSourceOfTruthLocale(java.lang.String className,
                                        java.lang.String key)

Parameters:

className - name of the class in which the string is created.

key - unique key for the string within that classes

Returns:

Locale which is the "source of truth" for this localized/multiLocale/multiLingual string. This has also been known as the "OriginalLocale", and as the BaseLocale. It is the source of truth for translating this string into other locales. For a LocalizedJavaString, if the registered Localizer doesn't implement this extended interface, Locale.US will be used as the source of truth. For a MultiLocaleString it is the OriginalLocale, and for a MultiLingualString it is probably the default locale of the realm/partition.
