Hi there!

I started localization for el (Greek language).

I did everything according to guidelines.

I extracted the en.json file from kibana after clone it from git.

On kibana downloaded from [here](https://www.elastic.co/downloads/kibana) (v.7.6.2), I made the following changes:

- In kibana.yml, I change `i18n.locale` from `"en"` to `"el"`.
- Added the extracted `en.json` file in the root `./x-pack/plugins/translations/translations` and renamed the file from `en.json` to `el.json` .
- In the root `kibana-7.6.2-windows-x86_64/.i18nrc.json` and `kibana-7.6.2-windows-x86_64/x-pack/.i18nrc.json ` declared the existence of the `el.json`.
- Added `el` locale data in the root `kibana-7.6.2-windows-x86_64\node_modules\intl-messageformat\lib\locales.js`.
- Launch Kibana with new settings.

Some messages/strings changed, but some texts from buttons remain `en`.  
Please check the bellow ss from list of Visualizations.

The button's text is half `en`, half `el`.  
I have changed `"kbn.management.createIndexPatternHeader"` from `'Create ': {indexPatternName}"` to `"Δημιουργία {indexPatternName}"`.

Please let me know what should be done to local kibana so as to apply these changes.

This isn't the right phrase, you need to provide `kibana-react.tableListView.listing.createNewItemButtonLabel`

Thank you @flash1293 for your reply.  
I have also translated this key as below:  
`"kibana-react.tableListView.listing.createNewItemButtonLabel": "Δημιουργία {entityName}"` and is not working.

I confirmed this is the right key - make sure it's not specified multiple times in your translation file, it's specified in the right place and to restart your Kibana for the changes to take effect.

Hi @flash1293. Just to mention that I use Elasticsearch/Kibana v7.6.2. Is there any other instruction that it is needed to follow for this version?
