Sometimes you may not find the neccesary language while localizing your website. Here is a short step-by-step tutorial to help you with this issue.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Magento 2 is a multilingual system. It used ResourceBundle for working with locales and had all the locales available in the ICU library.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"How<\/a><\/p>\n

But for some unknown reasons this list is limited. The limitations are located in Magento\\Framework\\Locale\\Config<\/strong> in the _allowedLocales<\/strong> property. Magento 2 uses the getAllowedLocales<\/strong> public function for getting the list of locales.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Adding an unavailable language<\/span><\/strong><\/h2>\n

First of all, create a plugin:<\/span><\/p>\n

<?php\r\nnamespace BelVG\\Locale\\Plugin;\r\n\/**\r\n* Class Config\r\n* @package BelVG\\Locale\\Plugin\r\n*\/\r\nclass Config {\r\n  \/**\r\n   * @param \\Magento\\Framework\\Locale\\Config $config\r\n   * @param $items\r\n   * @return mixed\r\n   *\/\r\n  public function afterGetAllowedLocales(\\Magento\\Framework\\Locale\\Config $config, $locales) {\r\n      return array_merge($locales,['hy_AM']); \/\/ This code we can find in global base of locales\r\n  }\r\n}<\/pre>\n
Then enable the plugin in the di.xml <\/strong>file:<\/p>\n
<type name=\"\\Magento\\Framework\\Locale\\Config\">\r\n  <plugin name=\"BelVG_Locale_Config_Plugin\"\r\n          sortOrder=\"100\"\r\n          type=\"BelVG\\Locale\\Plugin\\Config\"\/>\r\n<\/type><\/pre>\n
After that, we need to run the bin\/magento setup:upgrade for applied plugin<\/strong> command in the console.<\/p>\n
Here is what we will see as a result:<\/p>\n
\"How<\/a><\/p>\n
That’s it, now you have the necessary language on the list.<\/p>\n
