CLDR Pre-Production Data

This directory contains derived data from the CLDR project.

Where are the charts?

The main branch doesn't contain any charts, they are on the charts/49 etc. branches. See this link for charts. Read more about what the charts are in the unicode documentation.

For more about generating charts and the chart release process, see Generating Charts.

What is production data, where does it come from, why does this repo exist?

• Production data means what you get from downloads at https://cldr.unicode.org/index/downloads
• The inheritance marker(↑↑↑) is in the source git repo. It is used to indicate that the data for a locale comes from its parent locale or language. The inheritance markers are replaced by the actual values in the production data.
• The tool GenerateProductionData can generate production data (hence the name) from the source repo.
• We use this cldr-staging repo to contain a copy of the production data.

Is this repository used by the Survey Tool cldr-staging instance?

The Survey Tool is unrelated.

Is this repo an official source for data?

• NO. See https://cldr.unicode.org/index/downloads instead. This repository is guaranteed to mismatch the official download tags and zip files in certain cases.

Can I build production zips from this repo?

• You can run mvn package in this directory to create production .zip files under target/
• in fact, though, this is run automatically, if you have permissions see the Actions tab in GitHub.
