Create language locales in D8

Question

I am attempting to create/enable the UI to allow users to create translations in D8, and I need to create locales (e.g. en-us, en-gb, en-ca for English, es-mx, es-es for Spanish, etc). I've gone through the directions I've been able to find, and I am not seeing where to add specific locales after adding the base languages (at admin/config/regional/language). Or in the Translate tab on content items. Where do I go to enable specific locales?

Answer 1

To use locales separately, each has to be added as a custom language.

1. /admin/config/regional/language/add
2. Choose Custom language.
3. Enter the locale that you want as the Language code.
4. Enter the Language name.
