Cldr Units v1.0.0 Cldr.Unit View Source
Supports the CLDR Units definitions which provide for the localization of many unit types.
The public API defines two primary functions:
Cldr.Unit.to_string/3
which, given a number and a unit name will output a localized stringCldr.Unit.available_units/0
identifies the available units for localization
