ReadMe for Unicode CLDR

Unicode Common Locale Data Repository (CLDR)

Last updated: 2021-Oct-19

This is the final release version of CLDR 40.

Important notes for CLDR 36 and later:

The CLDR repository has switched from subversion to git.
Data in the main CLDR repository now includes some elements with the value “↑↑↑” indicating that translators have explicitly determined that the inherited value should always be used.
To generate data in the form that was used for CLDR 35.1 and earlier, in which “↑↑↑” is resolved appropriately (either removed or replaced with an apropriate value) and other minimization is performed, a new tool GenerateProductionData is provided (command-line options provide the ability to specify source and destination directory, among other things).
CLDR data that has been processed by GenerateProductionData is available in the parallel “cldr-staging” repository.
