Comment 1 Eike Rathke 2019-03-08 19:27:23 UTC
I will take this issue as a request to add the necessary entries to the
language list box, IDs and ISO code mappings.

Adding a language to the language list box makes it available for
character attribution and spell-checking. Availability of spell checker,
hyphenation and thesaurus of course depends on the installed
dictionaries. To be able to fully support it as a locale, including
number formats and calendar data, and having it selectable as default
document language we would need a locale data file.

For how to contribute locale data please see
