Creating a new culture for Localization

I am preparing a web site to include localization functionality. In
addition to supporting the list of cultures available from the .net
framework I would like to support the Maori langauge. As Maori is not
a listed language within Wnidows I will be setting the UICulture via
code rather than detecting it from the user's browser.

Is it possible to create a custom CultureInfo object? I know that you
can customize an existing Culture, but I would prefer not to do this
if possible.

Thanks.

It is a pretty long discution thread on this subject.
Short conclusion: NO
In theory this can be done by deriving the new culture from CultureInfo.
But it seems the solution does not work for web.
