Re: Discrepancies with CLDR

[Fòram na Gàidhlig <fios foramnagaidhlig net>]

If in doubt, I would go with the CLDR, because that is what the CLDR is
for. Note that they have a new major release coming up soon, so maybe
best wait with any changes until that has gone through. If anybody of
the affected languages thinks that the CLDR data is wrong, I recommend
that you get involved with them, because their data will be used very
widely (glib, Wikipedia, Microsoft... just to name a few)
