Bundle Lookup

[John Emmons]

#3 is currently a problem, which we are working on.  Basically, "Latn"
needs to be stripped out because it isn't necessary.  Then follow the
normal inheritance:

en-GB: en-GB → (parentLocale) en-001 → (truncation) en → root

#4 - Any unicode locale extensions are meant to identify particular
behaviors that are desired in the context of a given locale.  Think of them
like "options".  They are not meant to be used in the context of bundle
lookups.

#5 - zh_TW - Now that proper language aliases are in place ( See
http://unicode.org/cldr/trac/ticket/5949 )

zh-TW: zh-TW → (languageAlias) zh-Hant-TW → (truncation) zh-Hant
(parentLocale) → root

Friends,

This is a very basic question. See below. There are lots of documentation
about locale inheritance and matching. But, it fails in same cases to me.

Giving a locale, what's the procedure to find the bundle lookup chain?

1. en-US: en-US → (truncation) en → root

This one is dead simple. No problem.

2. en-GB: en-GB → (parentLocale) en-001 → (truncation) en → root

This one is also dead simple. Although, documentation says en-GB → en. Is
it outdated or am I doing something wrong?

Anyway, the ones I'm interested in knowing are:

3. en-Latn-GB
4. en-US-u-nu-usd
5. zh-TW

Please, could someone show me what's the chain of these locales (and
obviously explain the steps)?

Thanks!
