Summary: codes displayed instead of language names 
Part: ISO 639


Initial Comment:
In a language list used by KDE Keyboard Layout in the System Settings, I found entries consisting of 3 letters (mng, scr and trv) which I was told were part of the iso-codes project.

To be more useful to the end users, they should be named according to the associated keyboard layouts:
- mng: "Mongolian",
- scr: "Serbo-Croatian",
- trv: "Taiwanese" or even "Taiwanese Mandarin".


iso-codes versions tested 3.38 and 3.40.

Message:
I don't know how the KDE Keyboard Layout applet is using these ISO codes, but if they think that "mng" is Mongolian, they're wrong.  "mng" in ISO 639-3 is Eastern Mnong.

"scr" is a retired code for "Croatian"

"trv" is Taroko

There's nothing to fix in iso-codes but there's apparently a lot to fix in KDE..:-)
