Missing locale file '/***/Zend/Locale/Data/zh_CN.xml' for 'zh_CN' locale.

After updating to ZF 1.12.4, I get this exception:

I think it's caused by #233, but I don't know what the solution is.

We use the CLDR - Unicode Common Locale Data Repository with the latest version (24).
The file "zh_CN.xml" was removed in version 2.0.1 of CLDR.

[akrabat]

Looks like it was replaced with zh_Hans_CN.xml, which I don't think Zend_Locale can cope with?

[glen-84]

@froschdesign Yes I know, but what is the correct way to avoid this exception?

[glen-84]

Reproduce with:

$x = new Zend_Currency('EUR', new Zend_Locale('zh_CN'));

[glen-84]

There are other locales that fail as well: zh_TW, sr_RS, bs_BA, zh_HK, zh_SG, ms_MY, kk_KZ

It is a nasty bug, it broke some locales in my multilingual apps. Had to roll back to 1.12.3. Waiting for solution

Please compare with the "CLD-Repository" and you will see, these locales were removed in 2011 (CLDRv2.0.1).
The current version is 24.

This not a bug. This only a new version of the underlying library (CLDR).
Look at the file list of the "CLD-Repository".

We have to remove the outdated class constants.

[glen-84]

@froschdesign I know that, but this is still a BC-break because ZF can no longer handle these locales. This change should be reverted or ZF should be updated in order to handle the new CLDR data.

[froschdesign]

@glen-84
By the way, thank you for providing feedback.

[yaronius]

@froschdesign I completely agree with @glen-84 that these changes made ZF 1.12.4 incompatible with previous version and Zend_Locale implementation. I just looked into ZF 1.12.3, and there are all those locales that you say were removed in 2011 - zh_TW, sr_RS, bs_BA, zh_HK, zh_SG, ms_MY. I wonder if it is a bug, but it's not an expected behaviour either.

Removed from CLDR in 2011!
Until version 1.12.3, the old CLDR version was used.

New CLDR version == expected behaviour

[glen-84]

@froschdesign Are you planning on submitting a PR?

[froschdesign]

It's already there: #298

[glen-84]

Great, thanks.

[akrabat]

My main question is should we be aliasing the removed locale names to their new ones?

[glen-84]

Do this:

    $x = new Zend_Locale('zh_Hans_CN');
    var_dump($x);
    var_dump($x->getRegion());

    $x = new Zend_Locale('zh_CN');
    var_dump($x);
    var_dump($x->getRegion());

The region seems to be removed in both cases.
