Mountain View, CA, December 1, 2010 - The Unicode® Consortium announced
today the release of a new version of the Unicode Common Locale Data
Repository (Unicode CLDR 1.9), providing key building blocks for software
to support the world's languages. The main features of CLDR 1.9 are
enhanced collation and transliteration support, new structure, and
modifications for data consistency. The details are found in the
CLDR 1.9 Release Note (http://cldr.unicode.org/index/downloads/cldr-1-9).
Unicode CLDR is by far the largest and most extensive standard repository
of locale data. This data is used by a wide spectrum of companies for
their software internationalization and localization: adapting software
to the conventions of different languages for such common software tasks
as formatting of dates, times, time zones, numbers, and currency values;
sorting text; choosing languages or countries by name; transliterating
different alphabets; and many others. Unicode CLDR 1.9 is part of the
Unicode locale data project, together with the Unicode Locale Data Markup
Language (LDML: http://unicode.org/reports/tr35/). LDML is an XML format
used for general interchange of locale data, such as in Microsoft's .NET.
For web pages with different views of CLDR data, see

Unicode CLDR project (including charts) see http://cldr.unicode.org .
