				<title>639-1 and 639-2 shortcuts in alternateNames.txt</title>
				<description><![CDATA[ If you filter the <i>alternateNames </i>by <i>isolanguage</i> with e.g. <i>en</i> and <i>eng</i> (or <i>zh </i>and <i>zho</i>) you´ll notice that they´re both in the list. en-entries are the major but there are even some eng-entries. That can´t be intended?!

You may should change the column name to <i>Alpha3</i> or something and it would became clearer. ;)

ps: i haven´t checked whether the data is matching...

				<description><![CDATA[ The reason is that the two letter codes are more commonly used and it is only exotic languages that are not covered by the 2-letter code.
