• Download and move the extracted cldr folder to your extensions/ directory.
  Developers and code contributors should install the extension from Git instead, using:cd extensions/
git clone https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/mediawiki/extensions/cldr
• Add the following code at the bottom of your LocalSettings.php file:

  wfLoadExtension( 'cldr' );
  

• Done – Navigate to Special:Version on your wiki to verify that the extension is successfully installed.

If you download from git, change the file from CLDR to cldr.

Updating data

The CLDR extension comes with data pre-populated in the language files, but if you want to get the latest data from the Unicode Consortium, you'll need to download it from the CLDR site and then run a rebuild script.

Download newest data from CLDR site:

http://www.unicode.org/cldr/repository_access.html

Example (from within the cldr directory):

wget https://www.unicode.org/Public/cldr/latest/core.zip
unzip core.zip -d core
php rebuild.php

Usage and parameters

// Japanisch
$name = Language::fetchLanguageName( 'ja', 'de', 'all' );

if ( is_callable( array( 'CountryNames', 'getNames' ) ) ) {
    $countries = CountryNames::getNames( 'fr' );
}
