Description

A big newcomers complain is how to load required CLDR data (to cite some recent closed ones #405, #476, and #477). The scope of this issue is to improve documentation to mitigate this issue for future users.

Genaral ideas:

  • Improve getting started with links or examples by making it more visible for newcomers?
