This issue is related to the following DKPro-ASL issue:

http://code.google.com/p/dkpro-core-asl/issues/detail?id=23

We should augment the languge enum values in WikiConstants with the 
corresponding wiki codes, e.g. english - en, french - fr, ...

The following list may be parsed to achieve this:

I think either the data should be parsed from that wikipedia page and be stored 
in the database as a table - or - we use the enum. If we have both, the 
database and the enum might become out-of-sync.

I'd opt for not having the Language enum anymore. Methods accepting or 
returning that enum should accept/return a string instead. Getting a list for 
all languages should be possible from the database. Another way to get the a 
language string might be through the constants in the Java class Locale.

Locale.ENGLISH.getLanguage()
