As discussed on python-ideas, created scripts at 
https://github.com/OpenTaal/python-unicodedata_l10n that provide a starting 
point.

[issue34053] Support localization of unicode descriptions

STINNER Victor  added the comment:

I don't think that such feature belongs to the stdlib. I suggest you to start a 
project on PyPI and comes back once the module is popular enough to justify to 
be added to the stdlib.

Moreover, IMHO python-ideas is a better place, than this bug tracker, to 
propose to idea.

[issue34053] Support localization of unicode descriptions

[Pander]

New submission from Pander :

Please, support localization for Unicode block description and character 
description.

Translations are available from 
https://github.com/unicode-table/unicode-table-data/tree/master/loc If 
possible, use a gettext approach similar to https://pypi.org/project/pycountry/

Implementing this feature will allow users to read Unicode descriptions in 
their own language, other than English.

For example, now is possible only in English:

from unicodedata import name
print(name('ß'))
LATIN SMALL LETTER SHARP S

So unicodedata could provide a way to translate LATIN SMALL LETTER SHARP S to 
e.g. German with:

from unicodedata import name, LOCALED_DIR
from gettext import translation
german = translation('UnicodeData' LOCALED_DIR, languages=['de'])
german.install()
print(_(name('ß')))
LATEINISCHER KLEINBUCHSTABE SCHARFES S

and something similar for unicodedata.category
