Dear all, Who might also be interested in setting up a project that supports localization for Unicode block description and character description. Translations are available from https://github.com/unicode-table/unicode-table-data/tree/master/loc <https://github.com/unicode-table/unicode-table-data/tree/master/loc> If possible, use a gettext approach similar to https://pypi.org/project/pycountry/ <https://pypi.org/project/pycountry/> Implementing this feature will allow users to read Unicode descriptions in their own language, other than English. For example, now is possible only in English: from unicodedata import name print(name('ß')) LATIN SMALL LETTER SHARP S So unicodedata could provide a way to translate LATIN SMALL LETTER SHARP S to e.g. German with: from unicodedata import name from unicodedata_l10n import LOCALED_DIR from gettext import translation german = translation('UnicodeData' LOCALED_DIR, languages=['de']) german.install() print(_(name('ß'))) LATEINISCHER KLEINBUCHSTABE SCHARFES S and something similar for unicodedata.category Best, Pander
