collection != language #26

Each collection may have corpora from different languages, and each corpus may also have transcripts in different languages (majority of the cases have a mixture of monolingual and bilingual transcripts). I'm thinking at a general data-querying level (shiny apps + API) we may have to allow for querying for a particular language in a collection or corpus. Collections are not completely irrelevant though because the Clinical collection contains children who speak English but with language disorders.

I was planning to put all the collections on childes-db: http://childes.talkbank.org/access/
