  Description     : Unicode Common Locale Data Repository

The Unicode CLDR provides key building blocks for software to support 
the world's languages, with the largest and most extensive standard 
repository of locale data available. 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. It includes:

* locale-specific patterns for formatting and parsing: dates, times, 
timezones, numbers and currency values;
* translations of names: languages, scripts, countries and regions, 
currencies, eras, months, weekdays, day periods, timezones, cities, 
and time units;
* language & script information: characters used; plural cases; gender 
of lists; capitalization; rules for sorting & searching; writing 
direction; transliteration rules; rules for spelling out numbers; 
rules for segmenting text into graphemes, words, and sentences;
* country information: language usage, currency information, calendar 
preference and week conventions, postal and telephone codes;
* other: ISO & BCP 47 code support (cross mappings, etc.), keyboard 
layouts.
