--- Comment #2 from Eike Rathke <[email protected]> ---
I don't see that Excel would support some [$-bcp47] modifier. So if at all then
another modifier should be used that could be omitted from the format code,
like [bcp47:...] or [lt:...]

Anyhow, the correct way to have "[NatNum12]0" for Marathi is to select Marathi
from the language list and enter "[NatNum12]0" as format code. Doing so the
user doesn't have to know neither LCID nor the language tag. (and an input of
"[NatNum12][$-44e]0" is converted to anyway).

For the TEXT() function, the literal format code from an interoperability and
i18n pov is a complete horror already anyway, this would add just more mess.

Furthermore, users might come up with syntactically valid language tags but for
which no locale support exists. These could only be rejected. If a valid and
supported [lt:...] was given, that would have to be converted to the matching
[$-...] LCID anyway to make things work.

So, I'm not very convinced..
