According to Shopify Support, Shopify Experts have access to the Shopify source code. If that is really true (which I doubt), could you please show me the code that implements the language regional features? I'm talking about using a en-CA file in my theme. As of now, this is almost impossible, and seems to be even completely impossible in a development enviroment.

@JAO1 Were you talking to a chat bot, either way "Shopify Source Code" is so ambiguous it doesn't mean anything.

it's a big platform be specific in your topics and questions others can't read your mind.

It was an actual human. But I don't believe their statement. This is about the part of the actual source code that shopify uses to parse our theme's nl-NL.json and nl-BE.json to display the translations. Or more specifically, the part that decides whether or not use nl-NL or nl-BE. You see, neither of them are being used. But their docs state otherwise and say that we can use specific cultures. However, in my testing, only nl.json is being parsed. So I am very curious what I need to do to trigger this file being used.
