- **Turkey / Türkiye**
- In v42, the customary English name for the country code TR was "Turkey", and an alternate name was "Türkiye". In v43, the customary English name was changed to "Türkiye", and the alternate name was set to "Turkey". Translators were advised of the change, and reviewed the names in their locales to see if any needed adjustment. Implementations that wish to retain the English name "Turkey" may choose to use the alternate form.
- **Keyboards**
- The [Keyboard WG] is working on a major overhaul of the Keyboard specification, [Released in version 44][44-keyboards]. “Keyboard 3.0” has a very different goal and therefore existing keyboard files do not interoperate, have not been maintained, and will be removed.

### Keyboard Changes

**Keyboard** has a new DTD (keyboard3\.dtd and the \<keyboard3\> element). This is a complete rewrite of the specification by the Keyboard Subcommittee, and is available as a technical preview in CLDR version 44\. See [TR35 Part 7: Keyboards](https://www.unicode.org/reports/tr35/tr35-keyboards.html). The prior DTDs are included in CLDR but are not used by CLDR data or tooling. **Note**: prior keyboard data files are not compatible, were not maintained and have also been removed.

Note that there are additional sample keyboard data files in progress which were not complete for v44, but may be consulted as samples:

- Bengali, Assamese Phonetic Keyboard (PR \#[3368](https://github.com/unicode-org/cldr/pull/3368))
- French AZERTY optimisé (PR \#[3220](https://github.com/unicode-org/cldr/pull/3220))

**Note**: Prior keyboard data files are not compatible, have not been maintained and have also been removed in CLDR v44. The prior keyboard files are still available from earlier CLDR downloads, but are not recommended for use as they are known to be incorrect and are not compatible with the current DTD.

See the *Known Issues* section for additional known issues.

## LDML: The universal interchange format for keyboards

The CLDR Keyboard Subcommittee is currently rewriting and redeveloping the existing LDML (XML) definition for keyboards (UTS#35 part 7) in order to define core keyboard-based text input requirements for the world's languages. This format allows the physical and virtual (on-screen or touch) keyboard layouts for a language to be defined in a single file. Input Method Editors (IME) or other input methods are not currently in scope for this format.

In 2012, the original LDML keyboard format was designed to describe keyboards for comparative purposes. In 2018, a [PRI was created](http://blog.unicode.org/2018/01/unicode-ldml-keyboard-enhancements.html) soliciting further feedback.

The CLDR Keyboard Subcommittee was formed and has been meeting since mid-2020. It quickly became apparent that the existing LDML format was insufficient for implementing new keyboard layouts.
