CLDR Version 34 Language/Locale Data Released

EmojiVersion 34 is the latest version of CLDR, the core open-source
language data that major software systems use to adapt software to the
conventions of over 80 different languages. CLDR data is used by many
products for Unicode and language support, including Android, Cloudant,
Chrome OS, Db2, iOS, macOS, Windows, and many others
<https://sites.google.com/site/cldr/index#TOC-Who-uses-CLDR->.

CLDR 34 included a full Survey Tool data collection phase increasing to
85 languages at the “modern” (full) level
<https://www.unicode.org/reports/tr35/tr35-53/tr35-info.html#Coverage_Levels>,
4 at the lower “moderate” level (suitable for document content), 18 at
the basic level, and about 100 others that don’t meet the level
requirements.

Among the other changes: new units were added (e.g., atmosphere,
petabyte); many new emoji keywords
<https://www.unicode.org/cldr/charts/34/annotations/index.html> and
names were corrected/refined, with updated emoji sort order; and
preparations for the New Japanese Era
<http://blog.unicode.org/2018/09/new-japanese-era.html> (affecting most
software for Japan) were made. The specification was also updated with
many changes for Unicode Locale Identifier
<https://www.unicode.org/reports/tr35/tr35-53/tr35.html#Unicode_locale_identifier>
and BCP 47 Conformance
<http://www.unicode.org/reports/tr35/tr35-53/tr35.html#BCP_47_Conformance>
sections, plus defining the syntax of unit identifiers
<http://www.unicode.org/reports/tr35/tr35-53/tr35-general.html#Unit_Elements>.
