Create Locale

We can create a new locale directly in DSW by pressing Create from Locales. We need to fill the details about the new locale such as name, description, language code (RFC5646, e.g. en or en-GB), locale ID, locale version, license, README (with Markdown syntax), and recommended app version. The recommended app version captures for which version of the DSW is this locale intended and compatible with (it can be used in other versions as well but may have some untranslated texts).

Finally, a PO file is requested from us. We can create such PO file in a standard (gettext-based) way. The needed POT file is always part of the release attachments of the wizard client application (select the desired release and there is wizard.pot asset).

Note

Locales can be used not only for translations but also for customizing the DSW to a specific domain.
