 The use of language codes on WordPress.tv need a full review. A submission
 of a subtitle could not be done because of a hardcoded, non-standard list
 of languages.

 **WordPress.tv** is currently using it's internal language list from
 https://wptv.wordpress.com/wp-admin/edit-tags.php?taxonomy=language e.g.
 Czech/Čeština but also has some fixed/hardcoded lists e.g.
 https://wordpress.tv/subtitle/?video=98898

 **WordPress** has languages defined on
 https://make.wordpress.org/polyglots/teams/ and
 https://translate.wordpress.org/api/languages/

 **YouTube** is using ISO-639-1 abbreviations with some exceptions (see
 https://cloud.google.com/translate/docs/languages)
