pycountry has support for this.

I wasn't aware we were displaying the language at all(?). If you are, I assume you have a source for translating the codes. Otherwise, I have one that might also be used, languages.txt attached.

The pycountry library has good support for ISO 639 codes, e.g.:

language = pycountry.languages.get(bibliographic=bib['LANGUAGE'])
bib['LANGUAGE_DISPLAY'] = language.name

...does the trick. The code was already in the bib data, so I thought it couldn't hurt to show it for now.
