I18N: How to retrieve territories from the CLDR

Hi,

I’d like to retrieve the country names, i.e. territories of the CLDR, in multiple locales.

Under the I18N section of the definitive guide, it’s written :

And in every data file under i18n/data in the framework, a comment says:

I didn’t find this cldr command, is it still possible to retrieve this information automatically?

How do you manage translated country names in your projects?

Thanks

ok, following my previous post, it seems I forgot to look for the build directory of yii framework.

I guess I need to extendthe CldrCommand by adding some processing methods to extract country names information. Did any one already did that?

Thanks

Even if this thread is a bit old… since it’s the first googleresult and is still valid:

To extract territories and languages from cldr i did the following:

1.downloaded core.zip from one of this:http://cldr.unicode.org/index/downloads

2.applied this patch:

3. copied the CldrCommand to framework/cli/commands

4. cd framework; mkdir data; cp -r Extracted_Core_zip_folder/main/* data

5. php yiic.php cldr data
