cldr-0.1.0.gem

ruby-cldr-0.1.0.tar.gz

Download gem from http://www.yotabanana.com/ruby-cldr/

$ gem install cldr-0.x.x.gem

This libarary is unstable now. APIs will be changed. So using gem and specify the version should be recommanded.

require 'rubygems'
require_gem 'cldr', '= 0.1.0'

obj = CLDR::Object.new
puts obj.core.languages["ja"] #=> Show "Japanese" in current system locale

obj = CLDR::Object.new(Locale::Object.new("fr_FR"))
puts obj.core.languages["ja"] #=> Show "Japanese" in French(fr_FR)

NOTE Both of gem and tar-ball include resources(see lib/cldr/resource/), so usually you don't need this.

• Download core.zip from http://unicode.org/Public/cldr/1.3.0/
• unzip it to cldr source directory
• execute "rake generate"

$ cd cldr-0.x.0/
$ cp ~/core.zip .
$ unzip core.zip
$ rake generate
