Yes, however no idea really. I guess the key is to find the correct
language code, I still doubt lb_LU is correct but I couldn't find any
reference on the web, seems it isn't used widely at all. E.g. on my
system, I don't have a single lb_* translation installed (except this
from Geany).

According to

http://www.gnu.org/software/gettext/manual/gettext.html#Language-Codes
http://www.gnu.org/software/gettext/manual/gettext.html#Country-Codes

the codes should be correct. I'm not sure either whether it must be lb or lb_LU.
Honestly speaking I'm not surprised that you don't have a single lb_* file on you system.
To my knowledge the only software beside Geany which has a luxembourgish translation is Notepad++,
Limewire and KDE has a few parts which are translated, though not even completely.

Weird. Ok, then maybe better someone with Ubuntu experience should
answer and point you to the right way.

I'll try the Ubuntu Forums, maybe somebody there knows an answer.
