PHP returns Accept-Languages ($_SERVER[‘HTTP_ACCEPT_LANGUAGE’]) in a format like “en-US”, “en”, “de-AT”. How can I convert them into a more readable format? 

"en-US" -> "English USA"
"de-AT" -> "Österreichisch"

Is there a common way/function or do I have to look for a database (Whats the name of this format – is it ISO 639-1 with an optional region?!)?

    If you’re using PHP 5.3.0 or above and have internationalisation extension installed then you can use Locale class or the corresponding procedural function:

    $dispname = Locale::getDisplayName('en-US');
echo $dispname;

    will output

    English (United States)
