Re: [Python-ideas] Support localization of unicode descriptions

The problem with non-canonical translations of the Unicode character names is that there is not one unique possible rendering into language X. Equally, I could find synonyms in general English for the names, but one would be official, the others at best informally clarifying. For informational pur

Re: [Python-ideas] The future of Python parallelism. The GIL. Subinterpreters. Actors.

[Python-ideas] Support localization of unicode descriptions

Dear all, Who might also be interested in setting up a project that supports localization for Unicode block description and character description. Translations are available from https://github.com/unicode-table/unicode-table-data/tree/master/loc
