3 This tool is to generate globalization information from Unicode CLDR, with some changes
4 to fill the gap between .NET(Windows)-ism and the global standard.
8 There is only an external resource: unicode CLDR. It can be downloaded from
9 http://www.unicode.org/Public/cldr/
11 CLDR specificatin can be found at http://www.unicode.org/reports/tr35/
13 All content has to me extracted into CLDR folder. The latest version used is 21.
15 There is an extra mono resource included in this directory called lcids.xml for LCIDs. It's
16 extracted from National Language Support (NLS) API Reference.

21 culture-info-table.h contains the following sections:
23 - datetime_format_entries
24 See DateTimeFormatEntry.AppendTableRow() in DateTimeFormatEntry.cs.
25 - number_format_entries
26 See NumberFormatEntry.AppendTableRow() in NumberFormatEntry.cs.
28 See CultureInfoEntry.AppendTableRow() in CultureInfoEntry.cs.
29 - culture_name_entries
30 See Driver.Run() in Driver.cs.
32 See RegionInfoEntry.AppendTableRow() in RegionInfoEntry.cs.
34 See Driver.Run() in Driver.cs.
36 See Driver.Run() in Driver.cs.
38 In each entry, strings are extracted to locale_strings table, and in each structure they are
39 represented as an index to the string.
43 Update Makefile.am to get the latest CLDR data. However, CLDR is not complete and
44 it's missing data for many rarely used cultures. In such cases we provide empty value
45 but when someone has the knowleadge what the values should be it's recommended to
46 use online CLDR tool to fill the data gap.
48 To create the files used by the runtime after an update, run:
50 make install-culture-table
52 At the start of Makefile.am there are additional instructions for specific builds.
