Ok.

Let's assign then
#define LANGUAGE_USER_BAMBARA 0x062E
with mapping to ISO codes bm_ML

There are different steps involved for localizations that had no LCID
and/or ISO mapping and weren't present in the language listbox yet.
One is, to add the LCID to lang.hxx and its ISO code mapping to
isolang.cxx, and to request an entry in the language listbox of
langtab.src of the svx resource. These can be combined in one issue, but
separate issues for different languages. File such issues as early as
possible, before all your localization work is done, so we can add the
snippets to the code base and other localizations can start to translate
the name of your language into their language, or dictionaries and
spellcheckers can be prepared and tested. These issues can be assigned
directly to me ('er'). It isn't necessary to attach a patch of these
3 simple modifications.
The second step is to provide the localization itself as GSI files and
the necessary modifications to the build environment, if any. Keep that
separate from the first issue, because different people will be working
on these at different times. Issues with the final GSI file attached can
be directly assigned to 'ihi'.
The third step is to provide locale data for your locale to have it
fully supported. Note that this isn't necessary for the localized UI in
sense of translation, but it will add some finish here and there for how
numbers and dates and so on are displayed, and provides information and
data for some features of the applications.
