What if a Language has no Language Code?

Question

When it comes to Localisation of MVC applications ... How does one go about localising an application into a language where that language has no language code? Not in the MSDN at least !

There are hundreds of such languages, but take Kurdish as an example.

so one can ignore the fact that the MSDN does not acknowledge that language code? — J86, Feb 15 '13 at 17:19
See here for a list of language codes: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_ISO_639-1_codes — , Feb 15 '13 at 17:26
I think you're wrong about it. I really don't think that there are many languages left without language code assigned. Especially because, there existing standards assign codes even to extinct languages, that is the ones nobody use nowadays. I can't imagine where you can find "hundreds" of missing ones. — Paweł Dyda, Feb 15 '13 at 20:19
You're right, I was wrong. I just meant in the MSDN CultureInfo class I guess. I'll try and be more careful next time :) — J86, Feb 15 '13 at 20:31

Looks like a similar question here:

creating a custom CultureInfo

That thread points to two (hopefully) useful resources:

Thank you, very useful, but where would that code go? I am a bit of a n00b. – J86 Feb 15 '13 at 17:26
It should be run from the Application_Start method in the Global.asax file. – Pat Burke Feb 15 '13 at 17:28
