Babel is a Python library that provides an integrated collection of utilities that assist with internationalizing and localizing Python applications (in particular web-based applications.) This release contains a number of improvements and bugxfixes over the 0.8.1 release, including an upgrade to version 1.5 of the CLDR and a completed set of commands for working with gettext message catalogs. You can download the new release here: Please don't hesitate to report any issues you may find with this release: For questions, comments and user discussions, please use the Babel mailing list: What's New: ----------- * The `new_catalog` distutils command has been renamed to `init_catalog` for consistency with the command-line frontend. * Added compilation of message catalogs to MO files (ticket #21). * Added updating of message catalogs from POT files (ticket #22). * Support for significant digits in number formatting. * Apply proper "banker's rounding" in number formatting in a cross-platform manner. * The number formatting functions now also work with numbers represented by Python `Decimal` objects (ticket #53). * Added extensible infrastructure for validating translation catalogs. * Fixed the extractor not filtering out messages that didn't validate against the keyword's specification (ticket #39). * Fixed the extractor raising an exception when encountering an empty string msgid. It now emits a warning to stderr. * Numerous Python message extractor fixes: it now handles nested function calls within a gettext function call correctly, uses the correct line number for multi-line function calls, and other small fixes (tickets #38 and #39). * Improved support for detecting Python string formatting fields in message strings (ticket #57). * CLDR upgraded to the 1.5 release. * Improved timezone formatting. * Implemented scientific number formatting. * Added mechanism to lookup locales by alias, for cases where browsers insist on including only the language code in the `Accept-Language` header, and sometimes even the incorrect language code.

Voting 1. Problems: 1. Need to review the voting process; it doesn't work as well for languages with smaller communities (LWSC); broaden the community that makes contributions. 2. Hard to get data confirmed. 3. There is "confirmed data" that was grandfathered in, that's hard to change. 4. Even if you have a lot of vetters, if they are all "guests" it doesn't help much. 2. Put out detailed appeal for experts in particular areas (example: Uzbek)? 1. Would like to have the list at the Unicode Conference. 3. Make it easier for a vetter to become more "official"? 1. Ask people for qualifications that would allow us to make them vetters? 4. Make the rules for confirmation easier for LWSCs? 5. Vetters should be able to choose among: optimal, ok, and wrong for each item. 1. We could drop data when we get enough "wrong" votes. 2. User Interface. 1. Problems: 1. UI cluttered, unintuitive 2. Tool revolves around structure of data 3. Should be based on end-user view of how data is used 4. Page for dates: items are unordered, months not grouped in sensible way; eg column view of months -- maybe template? 5. Shouldn't have to scroll through hundreds of items. 6. Need more examples. 7. People can already pick the order, but that is not clear to them. 2. Finer-grained approach to certain items. Shouldn't have all gregorian items be on one page. 1. Use the categories for the pages as in the index at the top of http://www.unicode.org/cldr/data/charts/by_type/number.pattern.html 3. Way to filter long lists? Use progressive disclosure of what to do (start with just the minimal stuff). Dates especially. Maybe use grid for them? 4. Have same view always (with optimal item) for all people, and notification by email when any optimal item changes 5. Have better way to submit / vet collation and transliteration 1. We have some tools to make this easier if we wire them up. 3. Speed 1. Problems: needs to be faster 2. The different tests cause a load on memory 3. If there are no difference in tests across users, it makes it faster 4. Smaller lists would be more responsive. 5. Easy way to see the priority stuff; other is accessible. (check box, different link...) 6. We will do server upgrade upgrade (at least 2x) 4. Bulk Data (like that coming from Google) 1. Seemed like vetters were ok after we fine-tuned (reducing the voting level, fixing the voting algorithm) 2. Need to add before vetting starts! 3. May want to reduce voting level even further for future bulk data 5. People liked improvements in tool during the course of the release 1. Email messages are a great success - we need to have them in the data submission and regular vetting also. 2. Maybe emails when optimal change (could be batched). Item changed from X to Y. 3.

In response to feedback on the use of ZWJ and ZWNJ in Indic, this draft removes restriction on scripts for ZWJ and ZWNJ, but allows further restrictions in R1a, pointing to UAX36 for security issues. (Note that this draft is related to public review item #96). See http://www.unicode.org/reports/tr31/tr31-8.html There is also a draft 2 version of the proposed update of UAX#29:Text Boundaries. This update addsCR, LF, Extend, and Control as needed, clarifies use of "Any" , updates MidLetter to include U+2018, andadds a new kind of grapheme cluster: extended combining character sequences. See http://www.unicode.org/reports/tr29/tr29-12.html Areas where the UTC would like particular feedback are highlighted as Notes to Reviewers. Please review and provide feedback via the online form at http://www.unicode.org/reporting.html. Feedback received by the next UTC meeting (Oct 15-17) will be reviewed at that meeting.
