Hello new to faker codebase, i have question how faker parse the format tokenName and how its gets the reference for the data of that token name, I want to make company name with locale Indonesia (id_ID) with Indonesian name company or Indonesian last_name, But I am new to programming and not understand how the codebase work, do i need to make last_names data/list in id_ID locale for faker.person __init__.py and faker will automatically chose the last_name with Indonesia locale or i need do something else? Thank you

Where did you read about the placeholders? What is your current code?

How to track down {{ last_name }}? And how to use last_name that uses id_ID locale data?

class Provider(CompanyProvider):
    formats = (
        "{{company_prefix}} {{last_name}}",
        "{{company_prefix}} {{last_name}} {{last_name}}",
        "{{company_prefix}} {{last_name}} {{company_suffix}}",
        "{{company_prefix}} {{last_name}} {{last_name}} {{company_suffix}}",
    )

Thankyou

The logic is handled in https://github.com/joke2k/faker/blob/faa419b7af433c75253374c3d319ba5ffc3139cd/faker/generator.py#L161 The corresponding values are retrieved from the corresponding providers - the company_suffix from the company provider, the last_name from the person provider. The last name should already use the localized values as far as I understand the code.
