Update Language Script Info

  1. Rick should have checked in spreadsheets in {cldrdata}\tools\java\org\unicode\cldr\util\data, with names of the form:
    1. country_language_population.txt
    2. language_script.txt
    3. For a descriptions of the contents, see Language Script Guidelines
  2. The world bank, un, and factbook data should be updated as per Updating Population, GDP, Literacy
  3. Note that there is an auxiliary file util/data/external/other_country_data.txt, which contains data that supplements that. If there are errors below because the country population is less than the language population, then that file may need updating.
  4. Run the tool ConvertLanguageData.
    1. Look for failures in the language vs script data, following the line:
      • Problems in language_script_raw.txt
    2. Look for Territory Language data, following the line:
      • Possible Failures ...
        • In Basic Data but not Population > 20%
        • and the reverse.
    3. Look for general problems, following the line:
      • Failures in Output.
      • It will also warn if a country doesn't have an official or de facto official language.
    4. Send all the error reports back to Rick. Work until resolved.
  5. It creates files:
    • {generated}supplemental/supplementalData.xml
    • {generated}supplemental/supplementalMetadata.xml
  6. Carefully diff against the corresponding {cldrdata}/common/supplemental/ files.
  7. If all looks well, copy over.
  8. Then run QuickCheck to verify that the DTD is in order, and check in.
