[Typo3-dev] mapping of Typo3 languages to iso codes

Exactly! That's why I want to have this configurable.

No! Of course, English should be the default language for many things.
But consider this:

If an extension wants to generate a list of available (Frontend!!)
languages, this list is looked up in the sys_language-table. The problem
is, that because of the AUTO_INCREMENT id, there can be no id 0, so I
can't just insert a record with id 0 to represent the settings of that
language, which happens to be the default.

So the page-module, and some others, just prepend a 'hardcoded' entry
named 'Default' to that list.

One solution would be to just disable language-id 0 altogether
(optionally of course), which would also have some other very nice
side-effects, but is most likely not the wanted solution because of some
nasty dis-advantages.

A simpler solution would be to somehow assign 'some' language-record to
this default id 0.

So, I'm NOT talking about changing the backend-UI-languages or whatever.
I'm just talking about the languages defined in the sys_language-table.
