Let’s
first see the use of “Copy a Locale” interface in WHM:
Whenever you want to replicate a locale which can be a standard
form or non standard form then you can use an interface offered by WHM which is
called as “Copy a Locale”.
Now you must be eager to know what the meaning of a Locale in a “Standard form” or in a “Non-standard form”.

Locale: A locale is called
standard locale because it is a language containing data in the CLDR, which
stands for: Unicode Common Locale Data Repository.
Non-standard
Locale: A locale is called
Non-standard locale because it is a language containing data which is not in
the CLDR which stands for: Unicode Common Locale Data Repository
Now
let’s see how to access “Copy a Locale” interface through WHM:
Follow
the below steps:
Log in to WHM >> Navigate to “Locales” category >> Click “Copy a Locale” option >> following interface will appear:
Let’s see how to copy a locale into a standard locale:
Perform the following steps for copying a locale into a standard
Locale:
First of all select an original locale from the “Duplicate Locale” drop down menu.
Important note: The locale: “cPanel Snowman” and “i_cPanel_snowman is generally not used. It is used by Theme customizers and third-party developers for testing cPanel and WHM’ localization system against their modifications.
Now select a standard locale from the menu which you want to copy.
Now click ‘Duplicate” button, it will take you to a new interface.
Select “Click here to download” option for downloading the copy in XML format or select “Upload it here” option for editing the copy’s XML.
Now let’s find out how to copy a locale into a non-standard locale:

non-standard locale:

Now you need to enter a name for this copy in the appropriate boxes and it is must to prefix the name of the locale with the i_ tag because it is important to note that prefixing a name with i_ tag is a standard way of creating, identifying and working with a non-standard locale.
