I think the underlying problem is with the base method which relies of locales present in Java ( http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/javase7locales-334809.html)
The list does not include all locales, including Kurdish Sorani. I have created an issue in our issue tracker here ( https://jira.dhis2.org/browse/DHIS2-342) if you would like to track the progress. Chris, I think we need to explore a bit and see if the proposed technical solution solves the problem but if you have connections with the ICU project (http://site.icu-project.org/) you could check with them and see if they support this locale.
