Default Multi-language module - add language

I'm using Checkbox 4.4.0.5 and have installed the multi-language module and added the languages we want to support. I have an issue with the results of entering the same language for multiple countries.

I entered the following two languages:

Name/Code
French (FR)/fr-FR
French (CA)/fr-CA

After applying the changes, everything looked fine. Then I reset IIS, and the country specification in the name is removed such that is looks like this:

Name/Code
French/fr-FR
French/fr-CA

This appears to affect drop-down selections for language, as French appears twice in the list with no country specifier. This is a problem, as text for our Canadian French users may be different than text for French, and users will not know which one to select.

A similar issue occurred with English. For en-US, Checkbox removed the (US) country specification for the name field, but it left the (CA) and (UK) specifiers for en-CA and en-GB.

In a third situation, Checkbox did not remove any country specifiers from the name field. I put Spanish (ES) and Spanish (US) for es-US and es-ES, and they were unchanged.

Can anyone explain this behavior and what I need to do to have a consistent display?

As a side note, it would be great to make the list of languages sortable in the web UI (or have the data call return a sorted list).

Thanks,
Jonathan
