CLDR Version 33 Released

Bold imageUnicode CLDR 33 provides an update to the key building blocks
for software supporting the world’s languages. This data is used by all
major software systems for their software internationalization and
localization, adapting software to the conventions of different
languages for such common software tasks.

/This release had a limited submission phase./ The focus was on
improvements to emoji keywords and to the Odia and Assamese locales,
addition of typographic names data, and improvements to the structure
for specifying keyboard layouts. Improvements include:

    * *Structure*
          o New structure for typographicNames translations (such as
            terms for /Bold/, /Italic/, ...), with data for 33 locales.
          o The structure for specifying keyboard layouts was
            significantly enhanced, with many new elements and
            attributes, and expanded syntax for some preëxisting
            attribute values.
    * *Additional Translations/Data*
          o Annotations (emoji keywords) for a limited set of locales
            had a full review (ar, en_GB, de, es, ja, ru).
          o Two additional locales (Odia, Assamese) were brought up to
            Modern coverage level; some missing items were added in
            other locales.
          o Added 4 new transforms, and number spellout rules for 6
            additional languages.
    * *Property files*
          o The emoji property data file ExtendedPictographic.txt has
            been removed from CLDR data, since the contents are now part
            of the UTS #51 “Unicode Emoji” data.
          o labels.txt was added for emoji categories and subcategories.
