stateslocalized

stateslocalized is a software library and data set designed to provide localized information for states, provinces, and similar administrative regions worldwide. It aims to simplify the process of displaying and using regional names, abbreviations, and other relevant data in different languages and cultural contexts. The project typically offers a structured way to access and manage this data, making it useful for developers building applications that require internationalization and localization features.

The core functionality of stateslocalized revolves around a comprehensive collection of data for various administrative divisions. This data often includes official names, common names, abbreviations, and sometimes even historical names or parent country information. By providing this data in a machine-readable format, developers can easily integrate it into their software. For example, a web application could use stateslocalized to populate a dropdown menu of states in the United States or provinces in Canada, ensuring the displayed names are appropriate for the user's language settings.

The project's development often involves community contributions, with individuals and organizations adding data for regions not yet covered or improving existing entries. This collaborative approach helps maintain the accuracy and completeness of the data set. stateslocalized is typically available as an open-source project, allowing for free use and modification by developers. Its primary goal is to reduce the burden of manually collecting and maintaining localized regional data, enabling developers to focus on other aspects of their applications.
