How can I define an enumerator with string values in JDL?

Question

It is possible to define an enumerator with values in String in JDL as follows and with result in Java and Angular

JDL may be

enum LocaleLanguage {
    ES_ES("es_ES"), ES_CA("es_CA"), EN_GB("en_GB"), EN_US("en_US")
    loacle String
}

Java result may be

public enum LocaleLanguage
{
    ES_ES("es_ES"),
    ES_CA("es_CA"),
    EN_GB("en_GB"),
    EN_US("en_US");

    private String locale;

    LanguageLocale(String locale) {
        this.locale = locale;
    }

    public String getLocale() {
        return locale;
    }
}

Angular

export const enum LocaleLanguage {
    ES_ES = 'es_ES',
    ES_CA = 'es_CA',
    EN_GB = 'en_GB',
    EN_US = 'en_US'
}

I think Swagger has this functionality, but I am not sure if JHipster does too — Lino, May 07 '19 at 12:12
@Lino think Jhipster JDL doesn't support it, see https://www.jhipster.tech/jdl/#enumerationdeclaration — admlz635, May 14 '19 at 21:46

At this time this is not possible. A way to circumvent this issue would be to use translations and in the front end change the value to the desired String.
