The standard is followed very loosely, only primary language and region sub-tags are implemented right now. The display names of the languages are derived from the enum names, with the primary language name capitalized and the region name capitalized and enclosed in parentheses if present. If you need to customize the display name for a specific language, you can override the `override_display_name` method. https://www.w3.org/International/questions/qa-choosing-language-tags
