The situation is slightly twisted.. the language code 'ku' should be
avoided as it is a collective language code. The defined locales in
LibreOffice are

* ckb-IQ "Kurdish, Central (Iraq)" implicitly written in Arabic script
  * this is referred to as ku-Arab-IQ by MS and resolved, also ku-IQ
    resolves to the same locale
* ckb-IR "Kurdish, Central (Iran)" implicitly written in Arabic script
  * ku-IR resolves to the same locale
* kmr-Latn-SY "Kurdish, Northern (Syria)"
  * kmr-SY implicitly written in Latin script resolves to the same
    locale
  * ku-SY resolves to the same locale
* kmr-Latn-TR "Kurdish, Northern (Turkey)"
  * kmr-TR implicitly written in Latin script resolves to the same
    locale
  * ku-TR resolves to the same locale
* sdh-IQ "Kurdish, Southern (Iraq)" implicitly written in Arabic script
* sdh-IR "Kurdish, Southern (Iran)" implicitly written in Arabic script


So the translations should be one of

* ckb       (Arabic script)
* kmr-Latn  (Latin script)  <== this is already used in language packs
* sdh       (Arabic script)

... if not yet something completely different ;-)
