Stable Links Info
This page contains information about updating the various stable links to part of CLDR and "latest" versions, etc. Most of the redirects are in the ".htaccess" file of http://www.unicode.org/cldr/ and some are in the /etc/apache2/httpd-rewrite.conf file on www.unicode.org. (Note: at this point, you should not have to touch cldr/.htaccess which should be stable, just the rewrite conf file.)

New emoji
Seven new emoji have been added (images above). These will be released in Unicode 16 in September, so they need short names and search keywords.

The order of words doesn't matter; nor does upper- versus lowercase.
The limits on the number of keywords per emoji have been relaxed in the beginning, but will be decreased to the final limit (20) soon. So please work on reducing duplicates and breaking up multi-word search keywords.
Dont follow the English emoji names and keywords literally; they are just for comparison. The names and keywords should reflect your cultural associations with the emoji images, and should match what users of your language are most likely to search in order to find emoji.
English phrases like give up = surrender are often translated as single words in other languages. Dont just translate each word! For example, in [hold |… | shut |… | tongue |… | up |… | your], the corresponding phrases are shut up and hold your tongue.

Steps
Break up multi-word keywords (see the usage model). For example,
Where white flag (🏳️) has [white waving flag | white flag] , it is better to replace that with [white | waving | flag].
Because of the usage model, this works far better.
Reduce or remove stopwords, except with close associations, such as [down] with thumbs down (👎)
Reduce duplicates (and uncommon synonyms) in meaning. For example,
If you see [jump | jumping | bounding | leaping | prancing], it is better to replace that with just [jump] unless you are confident people will frequently use the other forms.
Because each character narrows the results, [jumping] is not necessary if you have [jump].
Reduce or remove "stopwords", except with close associations, such as [down] with thumbs down (👎)

New/expanded units
Additional units:
night, as in "your hotel reservation is for 3 nights".
light-speed, a special unit used in combination with a duration, such as light-second. Because of that limited usage, typically the -speed suffix is dropped, and the light typically doesnt change for inflections (incl. plurals) but this may vary by language.

CLDR training (for new linguists)
Before getting started to contribute data in CLDR, and jumping in to using the Survey Tool, it is important that you understand the CLDR process & take the CLDR training. It takes about 2-3 hours to complete the training.
Understand the basics about the CLDR process read the Survey Tool Guide and an overview of the Survey Tool Stages.

You're already familiar with the CLDR process, but do keep the following in mind:
Aim at commonly used language - CLDR should reflect common-usage standards not academic /official standards (unless commonly followed). Keep that perspective in mind.
Carefully consider changes to existing standards - any change to an existing CLDR standard should be carefully considered and discussed with your fellow linguists in the CLDR Forum. Remember your change will be reflected across thousands of online products!
Keep consistency across logical groups - ensure that all related entries are consistent. If you change the name of a weekday, make sure its reflected across all related items. Check that the order of month and day are consistent in all the date formats, etc.
Keep consistency across logical groups - ensure that all related entries are consistent. If you change the name of a weekday, make sure it's reflected across all related items. Check that the order of month and day are consistent in all the date formats, etc.
Tip: The Reports are a great way to validate consistency across related logical groups, e.g. translations of date formats. Use them to proofread your work for consistency.
Avoid voting for English - for items that do not work in your language, don't simply use English. Find a solution that works for your language. For example, if your language doesn't have a concept of calendar "quarters", use a translation that describes the concept "three-month period" rather than quarter-of-a-year.

Watch out for complex sections and read the instructions carefully if in doubt:
Date & Time
Names
Patterns
Symbols
Time zones
Plural forms
