How to solve this Tamil (Indian) Language issue in Opencart 2?

Question

I'm using opencart 2.0.3.1, and added Tamil (one of Indian) Language as optional second language (for visitors) by:

System > Localisation > Languages

with following values:

• Name: Tamil
• Code: ta
• Locale: ta_IN.UTF-8,ta_IN,ta-in,tamil
• Image: in.png
• Directory: tamil
• Status: Enabled
• Sort Order: 2

Correct me if any wrong values.

And, have created a clone of:

• catalog/language/english

and replaced the variable values with Tamil words.

And more, has tried renaming the PHP file (which was as "english.php"):

• catalog/language/tamil/tamil.php
• catalog/language/tamil/default.php

But no use!

Categories, Product Name, Description, (user given values) are shown in Tamil.

But button captions, labels, etc., (programmatic variables/values) displayed as:

• "button_cart"
• "button_cancel"
• "text_select"
• "text_loading"
• ...

How to solve this and a complete workable Tamil language pack?
