      Note that it is not possible to delete default language bundles, but you can create new ones based on them. Also, it is not possible to have two active bundles of the same type simultaneously.

        There are two ways to create a custom language bundle:

      4. Edit the text.
      5. Confirm or discard the changes you made in the property value field.
        6. Note: In one language bundle, you can edit as many property values as you want. All of them will be displayed when you activate the language bundle.
      6. Click the "Save as" button to save a new language bundle.
        To create a new language bundle by uploading a file:
      1. Download the language bundle and edit the file by changing the property values.
        Note: The downloaded file will be saved in .properties format.
      2. Load the file by clicking the "Load from properties file" button. The "Choose file" dialog will appear. Choose a modified .properties file and confirm your choice.
      3. Click the "Save as" button to create a new language bundle or the "Save" button to update the existing one.

      Once you create a new language bundle, it will have an inactive status.

        To activate a new language bundle:
      1. Click the "Activate language" button.
      2. Click the "Yes" button in the pop-up window.
