Yes, absolutely.

But first from me: What is the IPTraffic add-on?

Why? I would prefer shell because we have a small library that we load for common functionality like starting a service, etc.

Please explain the problem you are trying to solve and I hope I can help to come up with a solution.

There are files in config/menu. Have a look at the files beginning with EX-. Those are add-ons.

Have a look at lfs/squid-accounting. That script installs files from src/squid-accounting to /var/ipfire/addon-lang.

You can do the same and run /usr/local/bin/update-lang-cache in the install.sh script.
