Here is the language parsing:

Code:

sub get_language_desc {
    my $code = shift;
    my $lid = $code & 0xFF;
    my $lang = $mainlanguage{$lid};
    my $sublid = ($code >> 10) & 0xFF;
    my $sublang = $langmap->{$lang}->{$sublid};
    my $res = "";
    $res .= "$lang";
    $res .= " - $sublang";
    return $res;
}

Yes the two lowest bits are not regarded. Maybe It is for a possibility to use 10 bits for the main language identifier?
