## What it is
A Ruby gem that centralizes locale data for Ruby on Rails' I18n API, providing translations, pluralization rules, transliteration, and ordinal rules for many locales. It ships as a Rails gem and can also be installed manually by copying locale YAML files.

## Use cases
- localize a Rails app into multiple languages
- get pluralization rules for many locales in Rails
- add ordinal number rules to Rails i18n
- find locale YAML files for Rails config/locales
- transliterate non-Latin strings in Rails
- restrict loaded locales in a Rails app

## When to choose
- you are building a Rails app that needs translations for common locale data
- you want community-maintained pluralization and transliteration rules instead of writing your own
- you need locale files for many languages out of the box

## When to avoid
- you are not using Ruby on Rails or the Ruby i18n gem
- you need application-specific UI string translations, which this repo does not provide
- you need internationalization for a non-Ruby framework

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: active
- function: internationalization, templating
- domain: web-development, backend
- platform: ruby
- tags: rails, locale-data, pluralization, transliteration, i18n, gem, localization, web-server
