How to File a Ticket
The CLDR tickets are located at: https://unicode-org.atlassian.net/projects/CLDR/.
To file a ticket, click the red "Create" button in the upper screen area.
If you don't have an account, you'll see an image like the following.
If you see that dialog, please sign up for a Jira account.
In CLDR Bug Reports, please try to give as much information as possible to help address the issue, and please group related bugs (such as a list of problems with the LDML specification) into a single bug report.
A few areas are particularly tricky.
For the sort order of a language, see Collation Guidelines
For plural rules (ordinals and cardinals), see Plural Rules
Adding New Locales
If you would like to add data for a new locale,
Make sure that you pick the right locale code for the new data. See Picking the Right Language Code
Gather the Core Data for New Locales. A new locale is only added if someone commits to supplying/maintaining the data.
Follow the instructions above to file a ticket, requesting the addition. Add the language code (#1) and core data (#2) in the ticket)
Get a Survey Tool Account, so that once the locale is added, you can manage the data in the Survey Tool. (see Survey Tool Accounts).
