Description iiketsi 2012-06-27 18:41:28 UTC
Change from this > to that
Western Frisian > West Frisian
Northern Frisian > North Frisian
Zeeuws > Zeelandic

ksh is the ISO code for Kölsch, but the Ripuarian Wikipedia uses it as their prefix. Do ISO names in the CLDR database refer to languages in accordance with standards, or in accordance to what they represent on Wikipedia?

Add missing:
als Allemanic
nds-nl Dutch Low Saxon
pfl Palatinate German
pdc Pennsylvania German
stq Saterland Frisian
als (wrong ISO code used by WP) Alemannic
vls West Flemish
Comment 1 Siebrand Mazeland 2012-07-09 05:01:25 UTC
> Requests for change

The CLDR extension simply uses the data http://cldr.unicode.org/ publishes. You should report change requests and requests for new locales through their documented processes: http://cldr.unicode.org/index/bug-reports.

> Requests related to "als"

Obviously, plain incorrect code usage will not be made working, as "als" is Tosk Albanian. Instead, please request renaming the "als" sub domain to "gsw" (might well be that this is already a long standing open issue).

Unicode CLDR standards. Wikipedia standards are pretty rough around the edges.

I'm inclined to close this issue as WONTFIX, but if the reporting is creating upstream tickets soon (let's say within a month), then I guess the issue can remain open.
Comment 2 Andre Klapper 2013-02-06 14:48:51 UTC
iiketsi: Please report this under http://cldr.unicode.org/index/bug-reports as explained in the previous comment. This problem is nothing that could be fixed in code that is under the control of the CLDR extension maintainers.
Comment 3 Nemo 2014-07-05 10:39:26 UTC
Most of those have been added upstream, see https://translatewiki.net/wiki/Thread:Support/Language_names_not_in_Unicode_CLDR and please continue the discussion there.
