Add language manually

It would be really great if we could add languages more manually, so i could for example have upside down English or the nerd Leet language, just like Facebook has.

    Our organization is working on a non-profit software project for various people whose languages are not very common. POEditor would actually be ideal for that task. We don't need Machine Translation or API functionality. So maybe this idea could be reconsidered if you at the same time restrict parts of the extra features for these languages?
    Thanks!

    This custom language thing is a lot more complicated.
    At the moment we do not see a simple and easy and "everybody will be happy" way to do it. The two main reasons:
    1. Features like Machine Translation and API are based on exact lists of languages across the system (for example, a contributor won't be able to use his work if partners call 'Italian' in their own way).
    2. The system goes smooth even if we're looking at some billion records when it comes to terms and definitions. These numbers are increasing quite fast.

    This is also useful for formal and informal German.
