twitter-cldr-rb
A Ruby implementation of ICU using CLDR to format dates, numbers, currencies, plurals, and more with full Unicode support.
What is twitter-cldr-rb?
TwitterCldr is a Ruby gem that implements the International Components for Unicode (ICU) using the Common Locale Data Repository (CLDR). It provides comprehensive tools for formatting dates, times, numbers, currencies, and handling plurals, transliteration, and text segmentation across multiple languages and locales. It solves the problem of building internationalized Ruby applications that need consistent, locale-aware text processing.
Ruby developers building applications with internationalization (i18n) and localization (l10n) requirements, especially those needing robust support for date/number formatting, plural rules, and Unicode text manipulation beyond basic Rails i18n.
Developers choose TwitterCldr for its deep integration with Unicode standards (CLDR/ICU), extensive locale support, and convenience features like patching core Ruby objects. It offers more comprehensive i18n capabilities than built-in Ruby or Rails i18n, with advanced features like collation, transliteration, and bidirectional text handling.
