Adding multilingual tokens via huggingface tokenizer does not work.

@woohwan thanks for the feature request, just note that is the e2e recipe more geared toward showing the process. I wonder if you are interested in contributing a llama3 case-study?

@ HamidShojanazeri I am also interested in merging the llama 3 tokenizer with a new custom tokenizer that I trained from scratch. I understand that llama 1 and 2 tokenizers are based on sentencepiece and the current llama recipes also provide code to merge two sentencepiece tokenizers. However, llama 3 tokenizer is based on tiktoken and there no official training script available to train a tiktoken tokenizer let alone merge two of them together. Can you help with the code or point in the right direction as to how to merge two tiktoken based tokenizers? Thanks in advance
