The Common Locale Data Repository (CLDR) is a project of the Unicode Consortium to provide a comprehensive set of locale data for use in software applications. Locale data includes information such as date and time formats, number formats, currency symbols, and translations of language and country names. CLDR is widely used in the internationalization and localization of software, enabling applications to support multiple languages and regions.
Overview[edit | edit source]
The CLDR project was initiated in 2004 to address the need for a standardized set of locale data that could be used across different platforms and applications. Prior to CLDR, developers often had to create their own locale data, leading to inconsistencies and increased development time.
CLDR data is stored in XML format and is organized into "locales," which are collections of data specific to a particular language and region. For example, the locale for American English is "en_US," while the locale for British English is "en_GB."
Features[edit | edit source]
- Comprehensive Locale Data: CLDR provides data for over 500 locales, covering a wide range of languages and regions.
- Regular Updates: The Unicode Consortium releases updates to CLDR approximately twice a year, incorporating new data and improvements.
- Open Source: CLDR is available under the Unicode License, allowing developers to freely use and contribute to the project.
- Collaboration: The project is maintained by a community of contributors, including major technology companies and individual volunteers.
Applications[edit | edit source]
CLDR is used by many major software platforms, including:
These platforms use CLDR data to provide consistent and accurate locale-specific behavior across applications.
