To extend the EDS for an additional language extend add the language bundles to the langBundles variable in idpselect_config.js by adding an entry for the appropriate language (for instance "gd" or "fr-ca"). Note that if you add a localized language ("en-gb") you should also ensure that the major language ("en") is also available You can modify the language bundle that is shipped with the EDS in the same way.
Note that the EDS will use your language bundles in preference to the shipped language bundles and the most specific language possible. For instance, if the browser reports "en-gb" then the EDS would use a "en-gb" bundle in preference to an "en" bundle. Equally if only a "en-us" bundle is specified then there will be no match and the default language will be used.
