title: How do I create a custom locale in Magento?
body: <p>The locale I need is not included in the standard Magento language extensions, so I need to create my own.</p>
  
  <p>It will be es-us - Spanish language for the US.</p>
  
  <p>I found this article: <a href="http://kb.magenting.com/content/14/50/en/translate-magento-interface-magento-localization-tips.html" rel="nofollow">http://kb.magenting.com/content/14/50/en/translate-magento-interface-magento-localization-tips.html</a></p>
  
  <p>It says: </p>
  
  <p>"If there are no localization package for your locale you can create it by simply copying localization directory from English or any other translation."</p>
  
  <p>Can someone walk me through how I get from that quote to having Spanish (USA) in the locale drop-down? </p>
  
  <p>Thank you so much for your help!</p>
