You are not restricted to using known languages. You may also use this to

Note: The view/en directory contains many HTML template files, some of which
|

only have a few words of English text amongst the HTML. Over time we will move
|

the translation to the replace_macros() function which calls these files and
|
||||
then relocate the files to the view directory. The files in the top-level view
|
||||
directory are template files which do not require translation.
