Question Possible bugs with new "Languages" field.

Hi, I do really like this new feature.

Moreover, I did have in my Calibre database two custom fields for language: the first one for the current book language (#language) and the second one for the original language of the book (#original_language).

But, although I'm not sure I think there are some bugs with this feature.

1st one. Select "Greek, Ancient (to 1453)"
Voila you get an error. I think the problem is that it should be "Greek; Ancient (to 1453)" like "Spanish; Castilian".

2nd one. Comparison with the new Languages field doesn't work
Because of the new Languages field, I intend to erase my previous #language column, while keeping #original_language one.

In addition to #language and #original_language, I have got a calculated "Original Language?" field (with a "#original" lookup name).

The template for this field is
Code:
{#original:'strcmp(field('#original_language'), field('#language'), 'No', 'Yes', 'No')'}
With this code, it perfectly works (see Old-Right.jpg screenshot)

But if I update the #original field template, using Languages instead of #language, it stops working.

So this code:
Code:
{#original:'strcmp(field('#original_language'), field('Languages'), 'No', 'Yes', 'No')'}
doesn't work, (see New-Wrong.jpg).

Am I doing something wrong? or is it a bug?
