I need a translation for Kenya/ Uganta

This thread is resolved. Here is a description of the problem and solution.

Problem:
Add a custom language
Solution:
I have followed this tutorial to add the Swahili language and as the screenshot shows, I wrote this information : https://wpml.org/documentation/getting-started-guide/language-setup/editing-wpmls-languages-table/#adding-your-own-languages-using-wpmls-gui

- Language Title : Swahili
- Code: SW
- How it is written in other languages
- Choose a flag of the language/country: https://wpml.org/documentation/getting-started-guide/language-setup/language-switcher-options/custom-language-flags/
- Default Regional settings, this is to add the Country code, I chose Kenya : sw_KE
- hreflang : sw
- Language Mapping : Afrikaans
Relevant Documentation:
https://wpml.org/documentation/getting-started-guide/language-setup/editing-wpmls-languages-table/#adding-your-own-languages-using-wpmls-gui

nasiaA	Hello, we need to have a translation for the language spoken in Kenya and Uganta. Relative documention (https://wpml.org/documentation/getting-started-guide/language-setup/editing-wpmls-languages-table/) is not what we need. We were told that the language spoken in those countries is swahili, which is not included in the available languages, and when I tried to use africans (which are included), following the documentation mentioned above the locations given were Namibia and South Africa. Can you help? Thank you in advance
