Not handling inheritance?

[srl295]

NcldrExplorer choked on http://unicode.org/repos/cldr/trunk/seed/main/bss.xml ( I had copied everything in seed/main/.xml into common/main/ for testing purposes, 'seed' are locales that are not ready for prime time. In any event.. )

bss.xml has only Sun,Mon,Sat localized as days for some reason. However, ncldr ought to fall back to data in root.xml instead of crashing:

dateTimeFormatInfo.AbbreviatedDayNames = gregorianCalendar.AbbreviatedDayNames;

An unhandled exception of type 'System.ArgumentException' occurred in mscorlib.dll Additional information: Length of the array must be 7. (( not 3 ! )) 'NCldrExplorer.vshost.exe' (Managed (v4.0.30319)): Loaded 'C:\Windows\Microsoft.Net\assembly\GAC_MSIL\System.Configuration\v4.0_4.0.0.0__b03f5f7f11d50a3a\System.Configuration.dll', Skipped loading symbols. Module is optimized and the debugger option 'Just My Code' is enabled.

Note that ICU also has to deal with such things, and ICU as well expects fully populated weekday arrays, for example. So ICU will 'flesh out' such arrays, copying inherited information into the child locale ( so { 'Sɔ̂ndé', 'Mɔ́nde', 'Tue', 'Wed', 'Thu', 'Fri', 'Sátedɛ́' } )

Partially fixed in 0.0.0.005-Alpha. Seed cultures with incomplete data will no longer crash NCLDR but merging with parent data is incomplete.

The JSON bindings http://cldr.unicode.org/development/development-process/design-proposals/json are fully resolved (pre-resolved, if you will). Actually, for that matter, the CLDR java tools can create fully resolved XML, which could then be picked up by NCLDR. If you’re interested in trying it, I can [dig up and] send you the command line to accomplish this.

This specific example (only translating 3 days) is definitely not typical, but it does occur.

That's very interesting. I will investigate. If I get stuck I'll come back and ask for some help. Thanks.
