Question

Does anyone know how to convert language country codes like the ones below into the name of the actual language?

en_US
de_DE
en_GB
it_IT
fr_FR

I have a dynamic input and would need to convert the language country code to the corresponding name of the language (i.e en_US = English, fr_FR = French).
