In splunk you can only Localize UI Tag in different languages. The actual data cannot be localized.

Here is summary of the information that you need to understand to configure new or existing local

1) Splunk has some pre-provided locale the path where the localized file po is stored $SPLUNk_HOME/Splunk/Python-2.7/Lib/site-packages/splunk/appserver/mrsparkle/locale
2) Normally when we log in say if my OS isn in English the URL that splunk uses is --

http://localhost:8000/en-US/app/launcher/home and it uses the English local en-US. I can change the above URL to be like

http://localhost:8000/de-DE/app/launcher/home and you will see different local being used.
3) Documentation in how to create localization
http://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/Splunk/6.2.5/AdvancedDev/TranslateSplunk
4) If required you may use poedit to work with messages.po.
