I use this for a project trying to get the i18n of a spreadsheet engine right. I wonder what the HN community thinks about the CLDR project. Is this the standard to follow?
- sanxiyn 2y agoCLDR could be improved, but it is better than alternatives.
- masklinn 2y agoUsing the cldr (and contributing to it, though that can be frustrating) is likely better than trying to reinvent its dataset. It has a number of issues which I don’t think it properly warns about (well they’re more LDML issues) e.g. the original date time pattern system had significant cross-cultural compatibility issues if you wanted something other than the main date/time patterns. The skeletons system improves that a lot, but is decidedly less complete. Also some placeholders are straight up unusable e.g. it was a month-week system which was designed off of the iso weeks system, but doesn’t provide a “month” placeholder for it, so W is literally just a trap.
