Thanks for your suggested locale. Ubuntu uses the locales provided by glibc, though, so the right place to request a new locale is here:

If you submit a request to upstream glibc, please post the URL to it here for tracking purposes.

Have you? I can't see that the language exists in Launchpad, for instance.

Some hints before you proceed:

You should keep in mind that translating Ubuntu is not only about Ubuntu. It's about translating free software for Linux, i.e. a huge undertaking.

Would there be enough translators to translate tens of thousands of strings (at least) into Pennsylvania German and then maintain those translations when software is upgraded or replaced? And how many users would find it useful to have menus and windows displayed in Pennsylvania German?
