The following are the files for this release. For a description of their purpose and format, see the
Key; for more details see CLDR Releases (Downloads).
Unicode CLDR 2.0 contains data for 200 languages and 183 territories: 618 locales in all. In this release, there was a concerted effort to flesh out modern coverage-level data for the top 55 languages, for an increase of over 45% more data fields in those languages. Overall, there was an increase of over 20% in the total number of data fields.
Features
- Modified coverage levels to be data-driven, and fine-tuned the allocation
- Added special indexing characters to CJK collations for stable index buckets (with radical, stroke-count, or pinyin)
- Separated locales that are insufficiently fleshed out into /seed/ directory (available in the repository, but not the release)
- Added explicit parent locales, to:
- prevent cross-script inheritance (such as no longer inheriting Simplified Chinese values in Traditional Chinese)
- add es-419 (Latin American Spanish) as a parent for Latin American locales, and pt_PT for African pt locales.
- Added fallbackRegionFormat for improved timezone names
- Added localeKeyTypePattern and variant script names (for Hans/Hant) for improved locale names
- Plurals (see also Plural Rules)
- Added explicit count values of 0 and 1 for plural data
- Enhanced plural rules to allow for explicit lists, such as "n in 1,3,5..14"
- Added to the
Key/Type Definitions
- calendar type "iso8601" for ISO dates
- number type "tamldec" for decimal Tamil numbers
- Restricted the use of the <alias> element to only two circumstances: in root, and as whole-locale aliases
- Currency
- Restricted currency signs in root to only very broadly recognized symbols
- Made U+20B9 INDIAN RUPEE SIGN the default symbol for INR in root
- Added data for relative times (such as "3 days ago") with plural support
- Deprecated and removed references in /common/main/
See the Delta link above for a full list of changes.
