Language enum valueOf has problem to handle correct language code string

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Found in Release:
Language-1.0.0
Detailed description:
For example, if I write this code: 
Language.valueOf(Language.ENGLISH.getLangCode()). This should 
be a legal method call, but it throws java.lang.IllegalArgumentException 
exception. 

Workaround if you have one:

Here is the way to use valueOf with the Language enum - the string is the name 
of the
constant, not the parameter it was initialized with.

    Language result = Language.ENGLISH;
    Language result2 = Language.valueOf(Language.class, "ENGLISH");
    assertEquals("Language.ENGLISH", result, result2);

If you want to lookup by lang code, you'll have to search Language.values() or
construct a lookup table from Language.values().

Now I understand this enumeration. Will it be possible to provide some utility 
method which can return the 
Language enum (Language.ENGLISH) by giving locale ISO code("en")? If so, it 
will be very useful to use with GWT 
locale implementation.
