Hoi,<br>We do use the CLDR data and we REALLY, REALLY want people to assess the data that is in the CLDR both for correctness and completeness. Many of the languages we support in MediaWIki are not yet supported in the CLDR. We are seeking this support actively. We would also be REALLY happy when any and all languages are supported in the CLDR.<br>
<br>And yes, the CLDR extension is still very much in use. Regularly we did override the CLDR data because of problems with its data.. Recently an override was put in place on the Incubator to change Aurocana to Mapundungun. <br>
Thanks,<br> Gerard<br><br>PS you CAN change CLDR data at this moment ... <a href="http://cldr.unicode.org/index/survey-tool" target="_blank">http://cldr.unicode.org/index/survey-tool</a><br><br><div class="gmail_quote">

<br><a href="https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/gitweb?p=mediawiki/core.git;a=blob;f=languages/Names.php;hb=HEAD" target="_blank">https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/gitweb?p=mediawiki/core.git;a=blob;f=languages/Names.php;hb=HEAD</a><br>
<br>The request was followed up by few issues noticed for Czech, Slovak, and some other languages. It's obvious that by relying only on available input from the community, one can not make sure that the rest of the data is correct. Given this I recommended doing a minimal implementation of CLDR data. Here's what I wrote to Amir:<br>
<br><blockquote style="margin:0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex" class="gmail_quote">I skimmed through the list and haven't seen anything incorrect. I have a
question though; considering the fact that some of this data is
available in <span>CLDR</span>, have you ever considered
integrating their data and then do a fallback? The fallback would
definitely be necessary in some cases because your list is *way* more
extensive than what <span>CLDR</span> currently supports. <br><br>Of course, <span>CLDR</span> specs lets adding new
locales easily. So the ideal would be to have a seed (with minimal
information) for the locales which doesn't exists there and are present
in MW list. As <span>CLDR</span> is peer reviewed through
surveys targeted in-country scholars and standard body representatives,
normally the quality of the data and metadata is very good.<br><br>In the past, there was at least this one extension I know off which was facilitating the use of <span>CLDR</span> data on MW: <a href="http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:CLDR" target="_blank">http://www.<span>mediawiki</span>.org/wiki/Extension:<span>CLDR</span></a><br>
<br>Let me know what you think. I'd be happy to help.<br></blockquote><div><br>I haven't received any feedback from Amir up to now and as I'm not a MW developer, I'm writing here to ask for your opinion on the matter. The bottom line is that I can script out something that cross-checks Names.php values with CLDR entries, but I think it'd better to think about a long-term solution.<br>
