<p>This world is full of edge-cases. For example, we have mostly two letter language codes, but also</p>
<ul>
<li>pt-BR</li>
<li>zh-CN</li>
<li>zh-TW</li>
<li>be-Tarask</li>
</ul>
<p>I've also looked at i18n_data, and it has some strange translations. For example, for 'EL' ("Greek (Ελληνικά)") we would end up with things like:</p>
<pre><code>irb(main):008:0> I18nData.languages('DE')['EL']
=> "Neugriechisch (ab 1453)"
irb(main):009:0> I18nData.languages('EN')['EL']
=> "Greek, Modern (1453-)"
</code></pre>
<p>which might be technically accurate but it's not user-friendly.</p>
