But this is too cumbersome for localizers who just want to create some locale data for their locale of interest. They need a "generate from CLDR" or "enter data here" form similar to the Locale Generator available at http://www.it46.se/localegen/ The CLDR tools are really fine (I appreciate) for the tedious work of locale data audits and merging data from CLDR to OOo, but in the current state are nothing for an end user, which most locale data submitters are to be considered in this context. Encouraging people to generate OOo locale data from data already available at CLDR is hard if using the tools is much harder than creating the data from scratch using other tools. As the it46 generator is already able to generate CLDR data as well, maybe it could be an option to teach it to merge existing CLDR data to a new OOo locale data? Eike -- OOo/SO Calc core developer.
