Notes

CLDR Known Issues

See revision notes for CLDR 32: http://cldr.unicode.org/index/downloads/cldr-32

Known Issues 3. Subdivision Names The draft subdivision names were imported from wikidata. Names that had characters outside of the language's exemplars were excluded for now. Names that would cause collisions were allowed, but marked with superscripted numbers. The goal is to clean up these names over time.

Locale Path issues

The targeted locale is taken from user input. The following sources use the locale in the path:

• cldr-dates-full
• cldr-localenames-full
• cldr-numbers-full

The variations are big enough not to be handled in a case by case basis. The first part of the locale is lowercase, the second varies: az-Cyrl, en-150, en-US-POSIX...
