I understand your motivation to help people in developing countries (and I 
appreciate it), but please do not assume that your proposed solution of a 
particular problem is the only one which is feasible. Claiming that LyX 
supports a new language although it was not tested enough is an absolute no-
go. We cannot lie to our users.

However, if a new language which is not tested enough is clearly marked as 
experimental I don't see any problem: People who want a stable solution are 
warned that they should not use it, and people in desperate need of a 
document processor in their native language can try it out and contribute 
improvements.
