The CLDR is a widely accepted and standardised source for localisation information, maintained by a consortium of experts and stakeholders.</p> <h2 id="what-unicode-cldr-contains">What Unicode CLDR contains<a class="td-heading-self-link" href="#what-unicode-cldr-contains" aria-label="Heading self-link"></a></h2><p>The Unicode CLDR is critical for the development of software. It provides consistent and accurate localisation data for more than 800 languages and 150 regions, including:</p> <ul> <li><strong>Locale-specific patterns</strong>: Formatting and parsing for dates, times, time zones, numbers, currency values and measurement units</li> <li><strong>Translations</strong>: Localized names for languages, scripts and countries</li> <li><strong>Metadata</strong>: Information regarding language scripts and country validity</li> </ul> <p>This standardization ensures that software applications handle locale-specific data in a reliable and predictable manner. Major technology companies, such as Google, Apple, Microsoft and IBM, use the CLDR to ensure their applications work seamlessly across different regions.</p>
