How to create language package on Magento 2

This blog explains how to create language package on Magento 2. Here's the example of Vietnamese language.

1. Generate dictionary file

$ cd /root/dir/magento
$ bin/magento i18n:collect-phrases --output="app/design/frontend/vendor_name/theme_name/i18n/vi_VN.csv" --magento ./

2. Create language pack and register it

$ bin/magento i18n:pack -d app/design/frontend/app_name/theme_name/i18n/vi_VN.csv ./ vi_VN

3. Modify config files

Add & modify these 3 files.

# app/i18n/app_name/vi_VN/composer.json
{
    "name": "app_name/language-vi_vn",
    "description": "Vietnamese language",
    "version": "100.0.0",
    "license": [
        "OSL-3.0",
        "AFL-3.0"
    ],

        "magento/framework": "100.0.*"
    },
    "type": "magento2-language",

        "files": [
            "registration.php"
        ]

<?php
\Magento\Framework\Component\ComponentRegistrar::register(
    \Magento\Framework\Component\ComponentRegistrar::LANGUAGE,
    'magento_vi_vn',
    __DIR__
);

# app/i18n/app_name/vi_VN/language.xml
# PLEASE NOTICE MANUAL IS WRONG

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<language xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="urn:magento:framework:App/Language/package.xsd">
    <code>vi_VN</code>
    <vendor>app_name</vendor>
