- Go to http://www.iso.org/iso/en/prods-services/popstds/currencycodeslist.html
- (you can set up a watch for changes in this page with http://www.watchthatpage.com )
- WARNING: this needs to be checked periodically, since ISO does not keep accurate histories!
- Best is to get on the notification list. If one is missed, try
- http://web.archive.org/web/*sa_/http://www.iso.org/iso/en/prods-services/popstds/currencycodeslist.html
- Also see http://publications.europa.eu/code/en/en-5000700.htm for background info.
- Save the page as {cldrdata}\tools\java\org\unicode\cldr\util\data/currency_codes_list-1.htm
- Sanity check against the old, and check it in.
- Run the program ExtractIsoCurrencyData, with the input being that file and the output being currencycodeslist.txt
- You should now have a cleaned-up, tab-delimited plaintext file, at currencycodeslist.txt
- Use CVS Diff to verify the contents, and check in.
- If you are using Eclipse, refresh the file system (F5)
- Run CountItems -Dmethod=generateCurrencyItems to generate the new currency list.
- Verify that no currencies are removed. If one would be, add it to IsoCurrencyParser.oldValues, and rerun CountItems.
- It will print a list of items at the end that need to be added to the ISO4217.txt file. Add as described below.
- CountItems will also list the data from the file, for cross-checking SupplementalData
- If any country changes the use of a currency, verify that there is a corresponding entry in SupplementalData
- Since ISO doesn't publish the exact data change (!), just make sure it is ballpark.
- For new stuff, see below.
- Adding a currency:
- In SupplementalData:
- If it has unusual rounding or number of digits, add to:
- <fractions>
- <info iso4217="ADP" digits="0" rounding="0"/>
- ...
- For each country in which it comes into use, add a line for when it becomes valid
- <region iso3166="TR">
- <currency iso4217="TRY" from="2005-01-01"/>
- Add the code to the file java/org/unicode/cldr/util/data/ISO4217.txt. This is important, since it is used to get the valid codes for the survey tool.
- Example:
- currency | TRY | new Turkish Lira | TR | TURKEY | C
- Mark the old code in java/org/unicode/cldr/util/data/ISO4217.txt as deprecated.
- currency | TRL | Old Turkish Lira | TR | TURKEY | O
- Changing currency.
- If the currency goes out of use in a country, then add the last day of use, such as:
- <region iso3166="TR">
- <currency iso4217="TRL" from="1922-11-01"/>
- =>
- <region iso3166="TR">
- <currency iso4217="TRL" from="1922-11-01" to="2005-12-31"/>
- Edit common/main/en.xml to add the new names (or change old ones) based on the descriptions.
- If there is a collision between a new and old name, the old one typically changes to
- "old X" or "X (1983-2003)".
- Run CountItems -Dfile.encoding=UTF-8 -DSHOW_FILES -Xmx512M -Dmethod=getSubtagVariables
- Replace the section of supplementalMetadata.xml <variable id="$currency" type="choice">
- Do Regenerate Charts
