[Jason Pickering <jason.p.pickering@xxxxxxxxx>]

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. Thanks,

Best regards,
Jason
