If available we use ISO 639-1 two letter codes, so 'lg'.

We use ISO 3166-1 two letter codes, so 'UG'.
Also note that "English" vs "French" makes no sense here, ISO *codes*
are language agnostic.

That MS 0x1000 LCID is a generic ID not tied to any locale, it basically
says "you're up to yourself implementing this, MS didn't (and probably
won't)".

We already have
Ganda {lg-UG} 0x063B
even with locale data available
https://opengrok.libreoffice.org/xref/core/i18npool/source/localedata/data/lg_UG.xml

A 'lg' UI localization should be perfectly fine.

Note that the language listbox' English UI name for the language is not
Luganda but 'Ganda' because that is what ISO 639 says
https://iso639-3.sil.org/code/lug
