What’s wrong with just showing ‘en’?

I suppose we could add a link to [the list](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_ISO_639-1_codes). I’d hazard a guess that if you work with computers and _aren’t_ English, you know what your code is. But my sample size is too small.

If anything, I’d suggest changing the list to include the native name, for instance:

- en (English)
- fr (Français)
- gd (Gàidhlig)
