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. I used version 1.7, the latest one as of
10 http://unicode.org/Public/cldr/1.7.0/core.zip
12 There is a couple of extra mono resources included in this directory:
13 - lcids.xml for LCIDs.
14 - textinfos.xml for TextInfo.
15 - supplementalData.xml and supp/*.xml for .NET(Windows)-ism fixup.
19 culture-info-table.h contains the following sections:
21 - datetime_format_entries
22 See DateTimeFormatEntry.AppendTableRow() in DateTimeFormatEntry.cs.
23 - number_format_entries
24 See NumberFormatEntry.AppendTableRow() in NumberFormatEntry.cs.
26 See CultureInfoEntry.AppendTableRow() in CultureInfoEntry.cs.
27 - culture_name_entries
28 See Driver.Run() in Driver.cs.
30 See RegionInfoEntry.AppendTableRow() in RegionInfoEntry.cs.
32 See Driver.Run() in Driver.cs.
34 See Driver.Run() in Driver.cs.
36 In each entry, strings are extracted to locale_strings table, and in each structure they are
37 represented as an index to the string.
41 Currently, when we need to fix or update data, we need to modify or
42 add the proper file in the supp directory (if it's a new file it must be added
43 in Makefile.am as well to supp_data_files).
44 To create the files used by the runtime after an update, run:
46 make install-culture-table
47 At the start of Makefile.am there are additional instructions for specific builds.
