  • formatting [not yet] numbers, dates, times, currency values

  • parsing [not yet] numbers, dates, times, currency values

  • display names [almost done] language, script, region, currency, time-zones, …

  • collation order [won’t support?] used in sorting, searching, and matching text

  • identifying usage [almost done] measurement systems, weekend conventions, currencies, …

Requirements

  • Ruby 1.8.4

  • Ruby-GetText-Package 1.3.0 or later

Install

$ gem install spdr-cldr

Usage

This libarary is unstable now. APIs will be changed. So using gem and specify the version should be recommanded.

require 'rubygems'
require_gem 'cldr', '= 0.1.0'

obj = CLDR::Object.new
puts obj.core.languages["ja"] #=> Show "Japanese" in current system locale

obj = CLDR::Object.new(Locale::Object.new("fr_FR"))
puts obj.core.languages["ja"] #=> Show "Japanese" in French(fr_FR)

Generating resources by yourself

((NOTE)) Both of gem and tar-ball include resources(see lib/cldr/resource/), so usually you don’t need this.

  • Download core.zip from unicode.org/Public/cldr/1.3.0/

  • unzip it to cldr source directory

  • execute “rake generate”

    $ cd cldr-0.x.0/ $ cp ~/core.zip . $ unzip core.zip $ rake generate
