support for a new locale in Roller?

I was trying to add support for message location in a new locale in Roller
3.0 (galician, SPAIN: gl_ES),
so I copied ApplicationResources, renamed the copy to
ApplicationResources_gl_ES.properties and started to translate messages. But
when in Roller Admin pages, in weblog configuration, gl_ES wasn't present in
the locales offered to selection.

Where does Roller extract the list offered to selection for a weblog? How
can I expand this list of locales with the new one?

Note:
In effect, gl_ES is not installed as a locale in my java runtime, but I not
need DateFormat or other Locale specific functionality,
I only need message location in gl_ES.

Thanks for the reply and the link, Dave.

¿A bug since 2004? It seems that Sun is becoming lazy.
I think that the lack of a standard way to add new locales to the
environment is the true bug in the Java support for localization.

Anyway, as I said earlier, I don't need any of the DateFormating functions,
I only need message location in Galician. It would be great if I could use
the message location functionality (¿from Struts?) even if the Locale is not
present in the system.

We get the list of available locales by calling Local.getAvailableLocales()
    http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/docs/api/java/util/Locale.html

Apparently, the fact that es_GL is missing is a Java bug reported in
2004 with staths "In progress, request for enhancement":
   http://tinyurl.com/2743l3

I'm not sure if there is a way to workaround that bug.
