@@ -3,3 +3,12 @@ locale_database is used to generate qlocale data from CLDR.
CLDR is the Common Locale Data Repository, a database for localized
data (like date formats, country names etc). It is provided by the
Unicode consortium.
+
+See cldr2qlocalexml.py for how to run it and qlocalexml2cpp.py to
+update the locale data tables (principally text/qlocale_data_p.h and
+time/q*calendar_data_p.h under src/corelib/). See enumdata.py for when
+and how to update the data it provides. You shall definitely need to
+pass --no-verify or -n to git commit for these changes.
+
+See cldr2qtimezone.py on how to update tables of Windows-specific
+names for zones and UTC-offset zone names.
