List languages and it's codes #734

Hello, I would like to list all languages (full name) and it's language code. Is that possible with globalize? I couldn't find something to list languages in your documentation.

CLDR does have the information you're looking for: https://github.com/unicode-cldr/cldr-localenames-full/blob/master/main/en/languages.json

You can use cldr.js directly (or via globalize). After running getting started steps, run:

Globalize('en').cldr.main('localeDisplayNames/languages/es')
> 'Spanish'

Note this doesn't work using globalize-compiler or globalize-runtime modules.

I'm closing the issue, but I can reopen if needed.
