Remarks

Returns a name for the locale that is appropriate for display to the user. This will be the values returned by getDisplayLanguage(), getDisplayScript(), getDisplayCountry(), getDisplayVariant() and optional Unicode extensions assembled into a single string. The non-empty values are used in order, with the second and subsequent names in parentheses. For example: <blockquote> language (script, country, variant(, extension)*)<br> language (country(, extension)*)<br> language (variant(, extension)*)<br> script (country(, extension)*)<br> country (extension)*<br> </blockquote> depending on which fields are specified in the locale. The field separator in the above parentheses, denoted as a comma character, may be localized depending on the locale. If the language, script, country, and variant fields are all empty, this function returns the empty string.
