Clarity needed

In "It overlaps somewhat with ISO 15897 (POSIX locales)", does not "overlap" imply a partial common extent so that "somewhat" is redundant, and does "overlap" take "with"? Some hint of where the standards are alike and where they differ would be useful.--SilasW (talk) 17:32, 24 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Babel

A collection of tools for internationalizing Python applications

Includes:

  • a Python interface to the CLDR (Common Locale Data Repository), providing access to various locale display names, localized number and date formatting, etc.

Update, please Suggestion

This article still has references to "Sun Microsystems" and "Windows Vista". These should be updated or expanded.

Also, is CLDR useful in Linux? If so, which distros?

Contains rules for plural handling

As far as I know, one important aspect of CLDR is that it contains rules for how many plural forms a language uses, and what numbers are connected with which one of these forms. (English is easy: There are two forms, the first one is used for "1" (singular) and the other form (plural) is used for all other numbers. Russian, for instance, is more complicated. There are three forms. "singular" is used for 1, 21, 31, 41... 101, 121..., "dual" is used for 2, 3, 4, 22, 23, 24, 32, 33, 34..., and "plural" for everything else 0, 5-20, 25-30...) But, I know too little about CLDR to edit this info myself. TobiF (talk) 15:54, 8 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
