I'm not an expert in that field, but I know some people on this mailing list would help you (Jordi Mallach or Danilo Segan are some of them). As far as I know, what you need is to define the locale data for your country and request glibc maintainers (http://sources.redhat.com/bugzilla/enter_bug.cgi?product=glibc) and belocs maintainers (The only contact I can give you for it is Martin Pitt <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, he would point you to the right place to submit your information). If you get your data in glibc and belocs, your locale should be available for every single distro. Also, I suggest you to submit it to the developers of your distro because that way you would get it deployed faster for testing purposes.
