Missing en-US #27

Closed bimusiek closed 8 years ago

bimusiek commented 8 years ago

Hey,

we are investigating why we cannot localize en-US and it happens that it cannot be found in cldr-data-npm as it exists with -POSIX subfix.

I checked http://www.unicode.org/Public/cldr/28/ and I can find there .xml for en-US and for en-US-POSIX.

Any reason why it is not a part of cldr-data? Also, if this is correct behaviour, what would be the best solution to properly load this -POSIX data?

Cheers, Mike.

Hi,

Short answer: load en, which means English as spoken in the United States region using Latin script (both are deduced given they are respectively the most likely region and script used in this place).

If you are using https://github.com/rxaviers/cldrjs or https://github.com/jquery/globalize/, they are smart enough to correctly instantiate new Cldr('en-US') or new Cldr('en-Latn-US') or new Cldr('en)after you having loaded the en bundle.

Longer answer: http://www.unicode.org/reports/tr35/tr35-info.html#Default_Content, https://github.com/jquery/globalize/#locales
