Copy a locale into a non-standard locale

To copy a locale into a non-standard locale, perform the following steps:

  1. Select an original locale from the Duplicate Locale menu.

  2. Select Non standard locale.

  3. 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 ( _ ).

  4. 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.

  5. Click Duplicate. The system will redirect you to a new interface.

  6. 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.
