Allow language ID to be set when creating a new language

Hi there,

We often like to use more natural IDs for languages. For example, nl-NL or da-DK instead of LANG1 or LANG2. We can already do this today when integrating languages. However, we can't do it in the UI today and we have to do it like this instead:

1. Create a new language in the backend. This gives it an ID of LANGX.

2. Go to the database and rename the ID from LANGX to nl-NL

3. Recycle the application (this is needed or otherwise the cache keeps a copy using the old ID)

Would it be possible to allow assigning an ID when creating a new language? I can see that editing one would be a bad idea, but allowing one to be inserted at creating time should be simple no?

Thanks!

Imar
