Locale data source
DreamApply adheres to the Unicode Common Locale Data Repository (CLDR) for localisation data. The CLDR is a widely accepted and standardised source for localisation information, maintained by a consortium of experts and stakeholders.
What Unicode CLDR contains
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:
- Locale-specific patterns: Formatting and parsing for dates, times, time zones, numbers, currency values and measurement units
- Translations: Localized names for languages, scripts and countries
- Metadata: Information regarding language scripts and country validity
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.
By using the CLDR, DreamApply aligns with industry best practices to ensure compatibility and reliability across platforms and services. Deviating from this standard could lead to data discrepancies and potential issues for users.
Requesting changes to CLDR data
If you believe a change to a locale designation is necessary, we recommend that you submit a formal request directly to Unicode to update the CLDR. Unicode follows established procedures for reviewing these requests to ensure all perspectives are taken into account.
