Open Source Project for Unicode Locales - Open Source Linux Locale Data in XML
Overview IBM has developed over 140 Linux locales and made them available via IBM developersWorks under the IBM Public License-open source license. These locales have been developed based on the Unicode online database, collation keys and locale data in XML. The locale data in XML was generated from the ICU (Internationalization Class for Unicode). Java also uses the ICU architecture. Consequently the Linux locale sensitive functions are equivalent between ICU and Java. IBM will maintain all the locale data through these XML files as the master locale data. This paper describes the overall scope of this project and the technical methodology used to develop Linux locales. IBM also introduce a tool to display this locale data in human readable format via the Web.
