cPanel 11.28, Database Mapping benefits
1. Accounts transferred from non-cPanel servers, such as those running Plesk or Ensim, will no longer have the cPanel account name added as a prefix to the names of databases and database users. This means applications like blogs and forums should work with minimal (or no) changes after transfer.
2. Server owners can disable use of the database name prefix server-wide. If a server owner chooses this option, databases and database users will no longer be created with the cPanel account as a prefix (for example, a database could be named “dbase” instead of “user_dbase”). This option is not reversible.

Theme-specific files:
/usr/local/cpanel/base/frontend/x3/lang/english — The base file
/usr/local/cpanel/base/frontend/x3/lang/english.local — The local file
The Locale System
Root-specific files:
/usr/local/cpanel/locale/en.yaml — The base file
/var/cpanel/locale.local/en.yaml — The local file
Theme-specific files:
/usr/local/cpanel/base/frontend/x3/locale/en.yaml — The base file

Note: If you want to add or modify the value of a key, you should always modify the local file. Otherwise, your changes will eventually disappear.
Any editing with user interfaces in WHM and cPanel will edit the local files.

Cpanel::Locale is a modern localization system in cPanel and WHM. This new system is easier for developers to work with and facilitates higher quality localization. The end goal of this new system is the full coverage of localization throughout WHM, cPanel, and their command-line scripts. While this new system is flexible and robust, Cpanel has made every effort to ensure it exceeds our strict resource usage efficiency standards.
