A Symfony PHP component that provides access to the localization data of the ICU library, including language names, country names, locales, currencies, timezones, and emoji data. It works standalone in any PHP application via Composer or as part of the Symfony framework.

Use cases

• get localized country names in PHP
• list all currencies with symbols per locale
• look up language names by ISO 639 codes
• access ICU timezone data in PHP
• transliterate text and handle emoji metadata
• build multilingual forms with locale and country dropdowns

When to choose

• you need ICU localization data in PHP without relying on the ext/intl extension being installed
• you're building a Symfony application and need locale, currency, or country data
• you want consistent i18n data across environments where the ICU C library version differs

When to avoid

• you only need full message translation and formatting, where Symfony Translation may be more appropriate
• your project is not PHP-based
• you need real-time locale formatting via the native intl extension and can guarantee it's installed
