[Solved]Adding custom locales without overriding the existing ones

Hi, is possible to add new custom translation locales without overriding the existing ones? for example en_GB is core locale but i want another custom like en_CUSTOM?  o something similar?

Regards

**Update**

Even following the override GLPI locales followed from the docs https://glpi-user-documentation.readthe … cales.html

I cant get changes (I clean cache by CLI, Reset Translation Cache and deleting files from _cache folder) and dont get even the example change (msgid "Login").

You cannot add new languages, only override the translations of existing ones.

Thanks cconard96 for the response but anyway when i try to override base on the docs, i cant apply theses changes.

Using the example:

# Override PO file
#
msgid ""
msgstr ""
"Project-Id-Version: PACKAGE VERSION\n"
"Report-Msgid-Bugs-To: \n"
"POT-Creation-Date: 2019-04-13 10:43+0200\n"
"PO-Revision-Date: 2019-04-13 10:43+0200\n"
"Last-Translator: Automatically generated\n"
"Language-Team: none\n"
"Language: en_GB\n"
"MIME-Version: 1.0\n"
"Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8\n"
"Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit\n"
"Plural-Forms: nplurals=2; plural=(n != 1);\n"

msgid "Login"
msgstr "Login from local gettext"

i cant see this change and another point is the source sentences is not there ( locales/glpi.pot ) or at least in glpi 10.0.16 and 10.0.18

Regards

Re: [Solved]Adding custom locales without overriding the existing ones

The PO file is a source, while the MO file is the actual compiled localization. You will need to use a tool like "msgfmt" to compile the PO file and then your custom locales should be "files/_locales/core/en_GB.mo". Finally, clear the translation cache when in debug mode under Setup > General > Performance tab.
