(Home >> Locales >> Edit a Locale)

Overview

Use this interface to edit the locales on your server.

After you use this interface, you must run the /usr/local/cpanel/bin/build_locale_databases script from the command line. If you do not run this script, your changes will not appear in the cPanel interface until the next time that the upcp script runs.

To edit a locale offline, download the locale file from WHM's Locale XML Download interface (Home >> Locales >> Local XML Download). After you make the desired changes, upload the file in WHM's Locale XML Upload interface (Home >> Locales >> Locale XML Upload).

Non-Standard Locale Configuration

This tool allows you to configure data for a non-standard locale. A non-standard locale is a language with no data in the CLDR. The system adds the prefix i_ to the names of these locales. These tags are standard ways to create, identify, and work with non-standard locales.

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

  1. Select a locale from the Locale menu and click Go.
  2. Enter a display name in the Display Name text box.

  3. Select the fallback locale, number formatting, and character orientation from the appropriate menus.

     When a non-standard locale's lexicon does not have a phrase, the system displays the fallback locale's phrase.

  4. Click Save.
