Description
Upgrade to the Unicode Consortium���s Common Local Data Repository (CLDR) version 29 http://cldr.unicode.org/index/downloads/cldr-29.
The current latest CLDR is version 29: http://cldr.unicode.org/index/downloads/cldr-29.
Unicode CLDR 29 provides an update to the key building blocks for software supporting the world's languages. This data is used by all major software systems for their software internationalization and localization, adapting software to the conventions of different languages for such common software tasks.
Highlighted below are some key features in CLDR version 28 & 29 :
CLDR Version 28 changes:
General locale data. Overall, about 5% of the data items in this release are new (see Growth), while about 8% have corrections. Notable changes include a major review of and improvement to Spanish locales for Latin America; the addition of two new ���modern-coverage��� locales (Belarusian and Irish); and moving certain data from en_GB to en_001 for improved quality and reduced data size in locales that use en_GB conventions.
���Formatting. There are a number of new units and types of formats, with a major revision to the day period rules���preferred for many languages instead of AM/PM (���10:30 at night���)���with localizations; the addition of compact formatting for currencies (������10M���, ������10 million���), and the addition of more unit measures, including 7 new general units (duration-century), 21 new per-unit types, 4 new units for measuring personal age (needed for some languages), and new coordinate units for formatting latitude and longitude across languages (���10��N���).
CLDR Version 29 changes:
BCP47 extensions. New keys for specifying transliteration and emoji presentation, and for customizing locales with region-specific settings; extra structure for complete validity testing.
���Transliterators. Major cleanup, including BCP47 IDs for all transforms, simpler rule format, additional transforms and unit tests. ���Units. New structure for choosing appropriate units based on locale and usage; new units for concentration and imperial gallons. ���Locales. Added Cantonese, selected fixes to other locales.
Upgrading to the latest CLDR version ( v29) will need the following :
Replacing CLDR locale data XML files from v27 to v29.
The CLDR version change would need changes to the existing CLDRConverter tool ( Existing supported features will not be modified ) based on the requirement mentioned in CLDR version 29.
The complete set of changes with CLDR version 29 can be obtained form the link below: http://cldr.unicode.org/index/downloads/cldr-29
