CLDR Corrigenda
This page lists corrigenda to versions of CLDR. Each release of CLDR is a stable
release and may be used as reference material or cited as a normative reference by other
specifications. Each version, once published, is absolutely stable and will never change.
However, implementations may — and are encouraged to
— apply these corrigenda to their use of an appropriate version.
For example, an implementation may claim conformance to “CLDR
1.3, as amended by Corrigendum 1”.
Corrigendum 1: Time zone and Date Format Pattern Correction
In CLDR version 1.3, the policy was that for a given (resolved) locale, uniqueness is
required for time zone display names. That is, two different time zone IDs could not have
the same display name. This policy turns out to be overly strict, and did not allow for
customary names in cases where it does not cause a problem. The committee has relaxed this
policy so that where the parsing results would give the same GMT offset, the standard and
daylight display names can be the same across different time zone IDs.
The short and long time zone names for Europe/London and Europe/Dublin in the
en.xml locale data file had been changed because of the old policy. In
accordance with this new policy, they are corrected by this corrigendum as follows:
CLDR 1.3 |

The data reflecting the above correction is checked into CVS under the tag
release-1-3-C1 . For information on the usage of this, see
CLDR Releases (Downloads).
The following are corrections to the date format pattern in
UTS #35: Locale Data Markup Language (LDML).
The Stand-Alone months and days, and the long era names, although approved by the
technical committee, had been omitted from the specification. The use of specific
sequences of 'z', 'Z', and 'E' is changed to preserve backwards compatibility with Java.
