I just did a little test and made sure that a book was on the device as Polish. That was with language code "pl" in the database. This is showing as English in the book details. I also tried "ru" for Russian with the same effect.

This might be because Polish and Russian are not one of the languages supported in the UI, and hence the names aren't loaded anywhere. I don't know if this will mean the books are treated differently when reading. The only places I know the language is used are for the dictionary and the hyphenation. And the device doesn't have these for these languages.
