Better localization strings source

[Anthony-Gaudino]

Hi @vwochnik,

Since the currently provided language translations are incomplete, have duplicates and errors, I believe you may be interested in using the CLDR library (http://cldr.unicode.org), it has a much more complete and correct localization data, which includes not only translation of languages, but countries, dates and much more.

CLDR is used by Google, Microsoft and many others, so you know it's good.

You can grab the most recent release here: http://unicode.org/Public/cldr/28/. It's big, so you may want to parse the XML, take what you want, and put into YAML files.
When you download the core.zip file, the XML files containing the language translations are in common/main.

There are other projects related to CLDR that can help you get the data:

• https://github.com/fschaeffler/cldr-languages
• https://github.com/svenfuchs/ruby-cldr
• https://github.com/twitter/twitter-cldr-rb
• https://github.com/twitter/twitter-cldr-js

You were not satisfied with my limited but complete language set. You made one. Now you say it isn't good enough but I should write another script for that. Why don't you do it? I have a script on the scripts branch doing just that but with different sources.

Sorry @vwochnik, I'm not complaining, it's just that I know you were not satisfied with the translations I provided and I agree that they are not good enough, and the ones available on those gems from where you was getting the data were not great too.

Yes, you're right, you already did a great job on the plugin, I will get the data for you :)
