           Summary: [Administration] Add language feature is confusing,
                    disregards standards
           Product: Zanata
           Version: development
         Component: Component-UI
          Severity: medium

Description of problem:
The add language feature in Administration Manage Languages only allows the
user to specify a single field for a language, albeit to any length.

If the admin is adding a unique name, e.g. Klingon, it is limited in what can
be specified, and can be difficult to anticipate what will happen.
Entering "Klingon" into the field will result in a non ISO693 standard language
code of "klingon".
If the admin wants to add Rumaiy and Kumburan dialects, and recognises they
have to use the xxx-xxx standard, then the normal and native names are forced
to the language code.

Ideally, these fields should be editable - though certainly nice to prefill
them from the entered code.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
dev

How reproducible:
Easy always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Sign in as admin, go to menu->Administration->Manage Language
2. Press Add Language
3. Enter Klingon into the Language field
4. Click anywhere else on the form to auto-fill the form
 - The language is repeated in lower case throughout the form, no valid code
5. Enter kli-rum into the Language field
6. Click anywhere else on the form to auto-fill the form
 - The language is broken up into the correct language-country format, but the
user is given no option on how to name it

Expected results:
It would be good if the fields could be set to editable for an "unrecognised"
language.
