You could try something like this:

private Language getLanguage(final String displayLanguage) {
    Locale[] locales = Locale.getAvailableLocales();

    for (Locale locale : locales) {
        if (displayLanguage.equalsIgnoreCase(locale.getDisplayLanguage())) {
            return Language.fromString(locale.getLanguage());
        }
    }

    return null;
}
