From a posting in the lingucomponent ML:
First , for the list of the absent countries, with the exception of
Israel and of the Eritrea, I notice that it is the same that those
ignored by Windows (TM): Comoros, Chad, Djibouti, Mauritania, Palestine,
Somalia Sudan; OOo uses the same list of supported locale and
countries in Windows (TM):
http://www.microsoft.com/globaldev/reference/lcid-all.mspx
http://www.microsoft.com/globaldev/reference/winxp/xp-lcid.mspx
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms776294.aspx
http://www.microsoft.com/globaldev/reference/lcid-all.mspx
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=KB;en-us;q221435
I think that OOo would make happy many persons if it adds countries
forgotten by Redmond :) so the entries which I suggest are below but
there no LCID Hex and LCID Dec for majority of them :( (except
Israel and Eritrea)
{ LANGUAGE_ARABIC_COMOROS, ar, KM },
{ LANGUAGE_ARABIC_CHAD, ar, TD },
{ LANGUAGE_ARABIC_DJIBOUTI, ar, DJ },
{ LANGUAGE_ARABIC_MAURITANIA, ar, MR },
{ LANGUAGE_ARABIC_PALESTINE, ar, PS },
{ LANGUAGE_ARABIC_SOMALIA, ar, SO },
{ LANGUAGE_ARABIC_SUDAN, ar, SD },
{ LANGUAGE_ARABIC_ISRAEL, ar, DJ },
{ LANGUAGE_ARABIC_ERITREA, ar, ER },
Secondly, I notice that the window: Options - Language Setting -
Languages: CTL (complex text layout), shows only Tunis, Saudi Arabia,
Lebanon Egypt; the same countries we see at:
http://l10n.openoffice.org/source/browse/l10n/i18npool/source/localedata/data/
I'll suggest, soon, to Arabeyes project (www.arabeyes.org) to make
locale xml files for all of the countries absent and submit them to OOo.

From the same author of the posting:
A small correction at:
http://www.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=90867
to not cause political problems :)
instead:
{ LANGUAGE_ARABIC_ISRAEL, ar, DJ },
would you put:
{ LANGUAGE_ARABIC_ISRAEL, ar, IL },
Sorry for the disturbance.

Adding a language to the language listbox makes it available for character attribution and spell-checking. To be able to fully support it as a locale, including number formats and calendar data, and having it selectable as default document language we would need a locale data file. You can easily generate a locale data file with the generator available at http://www.it46.se/localegen/ For technical details and semantics of elements please see the generator's documentation and the comments in the locale data DTD file http://l10n.openoffice.org/source/browse/l10n/i18npool/source/localedata/data/locale.dtd?view=markup and as a sample locale data file for example the en_US locale http://l10n.openoffice.org/source/browse/l10n/i18npool/source/localedata/data/en_US.xml?view=markup Note that several locale data elements may be inherited from another locale's data by means of the ref=... attribute if they share identical data, which may come handy if locales are to be created for the same language but different countries that differ only in a few elements such as currency symbols. This would have to be done manually though. Doing so also reduces the memory footprint needed during runtime when the data libraries are loaded.
