The *beta* version of Unicode CLDR 35

Unicode CLDR 35 provides an update to the key building blocks for 
software supporting the world's languages. CLDR data is used by all 
major software systems 
<http://cldr.unicode.org/index#TOC-Who-uses-CLDR-> for their software 
internationalization and localization, adapting software to the 
conventions of different languages for such common software tasks.
