Hacklog: Blogamundo — poking holes in the language barrier since approximately 1 month from now

I’ve blogged before about the Common Locale Data Repository, or CLDR, which is hosted at Unicode.org/cldr/. It’s a project to collect locale data for as many languages as possible. (Here’s an example in Welsh, here’s one in French, here’s English, etc.)

I got an announcement today about a new CLDR mailing list, so I’m forwarding it along for all my things-linguistical-and-computational-loving wumungs friends:

The Unicode Consortium is starting a new public mailing list for internationalization issues related to locales, including in particular the Unicode Common Locale Data Repository (CLDR), the Locale Data Markup Language (LDML), and international identifiers (language, script, region, currency, and timezones).

Those interested in these topics can subscribe by visiting our revised mail list page:

Oh yeah, good times.
