Use a Haiti locale in a product
When content is written in Haitian Creole, use the lang tag below to describe the text. The Intl locale selects regional formatting. This is one example from the table, not a claim about every visitor's language preference.
<html lang="ht">
new Intl.NumberFormat("ht-HT").format(1234567.89);Compare number and date formatting
These examples use 1234567.89 and the fixed instant 2026-01-15T13:45:00Z, with dates displayed in UTC. Intl computes the results when this site is built; your browser and locale-data version may differ. Unsupported tags are identified instead of showing default-language output.
| Locale | Number | Date | Currency |
|---|---|---|---|
ht-HT | Unsupported in this build | Unsupported in this build | HTG: Unsupported in this build USD: Unsupported in this build |
fr-HT | 1 234 567,89 | 15 janvier 2026 | HTG: 1 234,50 G USD: 1 234,50 $US |
Currency examples use the fixed value 1234.5. SIX and CLDR snapshot: 2026-09-26. Specify each currency explicitly; formatting is not an exchange rate.
new Intl.NumberFormat("fr-HT", { style: "currency", currency: "HTG" }).format(1234.5);new Intl.NumberFormat("fr-HT", { style: "currency", currency: "USD" }).format(1234.5);Before adopting a tag, run Intl.NumberFormat.supportedLocalesOf() and Intl.DateTimeFormat.supportedLocalesOf() in your target runtime. A locale does not select a time zone or translate interface text; specify currency explicitly when formatting money.
