I need to localize for Welsh, culture cy-gb.

When I attempt to create this culture, I get the following error:
"Culture name cy-gb is not supported."

Is the .net framework ever going to support this culture? I can set my
regional settings to Welsh (cy-gb) so shouldn't it be supported???

Thanks,

Welsh was added in SP2 of Windows XP.

The .NET Framework (versions 1.0 and 1.1) have no facility to magically
update their culture lists or culture data, which is indepenedent of the
operating system.

You will want to take a look at the next version of the .NET Framework,
however, which has multiple options to help work within this world where
different products release at different times and some know more than
others....
