I had a look at that and tried to build the software from source. It requires you to build ICU, and even then it failed to build for me. The build documentation is not very detailed. So I think we should not link to that. I noticed that two more external links have moved. Attached is a patch that fixes those links and removes the link to the locale explorer. Yours, Laurenz Albe
From 10c33a90a946a4337e37e54293e539e6f8cd2954 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Laurenz Albe <laurenz.a...@cybertec.at> Date: Wed, 29 Sep 2021 12:09:18 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] Fix external ICU links The links explaining ICU locales and ICU API details have moved. Also, remove the link to the "ICU Locale Explorer", since it is no longer available. We could have added a link to the source at https://github.com/unicode-org/icu-demos, but the build documentation is not very detailed, and an attempt to build failed due to missing headers of unspecified origin.
