Talk:Common Locale Data Repository

Clarity needed

In "It overlaps somewhat with ISO 15897 (POSIX locales)", does not "overlap" imply a partial common extent so that "somewhat" is redundant, and does "overlap" take "with"? Some hint of where the standards are alike and where they differ would be useful.--SilasW (talk) 17:32, 24 March 2008 (UTC)

Update, please Suggestion

This article still has references to "Sun Microsystems" and "Windows Vista". These should be updated or expanded.

Also, is CLDR useful in Linux? If so, which distros?

Contains rules for plural handling

As far as I know, one important aspect of CLDR is that it contains rules for how many plural forms a language uses, and what numbers are connected with which one of these forms. (English is easy: There are two forms, the first one is used for "1" (singular) and the other form (plural) is used for all other numbers. Russian, for instance, is more complicated. There are three forms. "singular" is used for 1, 21, 31, 41... 101, 121..., "dual" is used for 2, 3, 4, 22, 23, 24, 32, 33, 34..., and "plural" for everything else 0, 5-20, 25-30...) But, I know too little about CLDR to edit this info myself. TobiF (talk) 15:54, 8 September 2017 (UTC)

agree. Here it is: http://www.unicode.org/cldr/charts/latest/supplemental/language_plural_rules.html Kotz (talk) 20:06, 20 October 2019 (UTC)

35 macroregion sequences

Regional indicator symbol#Emoji flag sequences speaks of “35 macroregion sequences”. What are those? ◅ Sebastian 18:42, 17 February 2022 (UTC) The reason why I asked that question here was that that sentence refers to the CLDR, as if they were part of the CLDR. ◅ Sebastian Helm 🗨 06:51, 9 November 2023 (UTC)

You can find them in common/main/en.xml from the cldr-common-44.0.zip download at the http://unicode.org/Public/cldr/44/ webpage. If I understand correctly, they're territories like 001 for "world" and 002 for Africa. DRMcCreedy (talk) 22:30, 9 November 2023 (UTC)
