I guess the correct codes would be ky-Cyrl and ky-Arab, but since LibO 
doesn't support BCP47 codes yet, I guess we'll have to use ky-KG and 
ky-CN instead...

Perhaps the easiest way to start localizing LibO is to use Pootle 
(https://translations.documentfoundation.org/). I (or anyone else with 
admin rights) can bootstrap ky-CN there. Should we do that?

Regarding other information: if Adylbek decides to start localizing 
LibO, it would be nice to have him listed in our wiki as language 
maintainer for ky-CN: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Language_Teams .

Regards,

Rimas
