I was deeply checking for a solution to spanish people with custom languages (galician, euskera, catalan). I know the robust solution is ask for a language pack and will be ignored. I see some apps in marketplace for translate jira using browser extensions, doesn’t exist really any supported way to add a custom language in jira cloud with basic warranty of usage?

None that I’ve found, and two published lists are what bound it.
The product UI language set is fixed by Atlassian (language preferences). Galician, Catalan and Basque aren’t in it, and Cloud has no language-pack install path the way DC does.
For your own app’s UI, Forge i18n only accepts keys from the supported locale codes, 26 of them, and gl / ca / eu aren’t among them:
translations:
resources:
- key: es-ES
path: translations/es-ES.json
What does still work: inside your own app you can skip the translations module and switch strings yourself off a preference you store per user, so app-owned screens can be in Galician even though Jira’s own chrome can’t.
The Marketplace listings you saw are browser extensions because they rewrite the rendered DOM from outside the product. Nothing in the app APIs gives you that hook.
