Copy a Locale
Overview
This interface allows you to duplicate a locale in to a standard locale or a non-standard locale.
Note:
- A standard locale is a language with data in the Unicode Common Locale Data Repository (CLDR).
- A non-standard locale is a language with no data in the CLDR.
Copy a locale into a standard locale
To copy a locale into a standard locale, perform the following steps:
- Select the original locale from the Duplicate Locale menu.
Note:
The ☃ cPanel Snowmen ☃ - i_cpanel_snowmen locale is not for general use. Theme customizers and third-party developers can use this locale to test cPanel & WHM’s localization system against their customizations. For more information, or for help if you selected this theme accidentally, read our The Snowman Locale documentation.
- Select Standard locale.
- Select a locale from the Standard locale menu.
- Click Duplicate. The system will redirect you to a new interface.
- Click Click here to download to download the duplicate in XML format, or click upload it here to edit the copy’s XML.
Copy a locale into a non-standard locale
To copy a locale into a non-standard locale, perform the following steps:
- Select an original locale from the Duplicate Locale menu.
Note:
The ☃ cPanel Snowmen ☃ - i_cpanel_snowmen locale is not for general use. Theme customizers and third-party developers can use this locale to test cPanel & WHM’s localization system against their customizations. For more information, or for help if you selected this theme accidentally, read our The Snowman Locale documentation.
- Select Non standard locale.
- Enter a name for the copy, prefixed with the i_ tag, in the appropriate boxes.
Note:
An i_ tag is a standard way to create, identify, and work with a non-standard locale. It consists of a code prefixed with the letter i, followed by an underscore ( _ ).
- Select the options from the Fallback Locale, Number Formatting, and Character Orientation menus.
Note:
When an i_ tag’s lexicon does not have a phrase, the tag will reference the locale that is set to Fallback to find the phrase there.
- Click Duplicate. The system will redirect you to a new interface.
- Click Click here to download to download the duplicate in XML format, or click upload it here to edit the copy’s XML.
Note:
If a desired locale is not present, click rebuild the locale databases to update the list of locales.
