Returns three-letter ISO-639-2 "bibliographic" language code given a two-letter ISO-639-1 language code or a three-letter ISO-639-2 language code (both are accepted for convenience).
The "bibliographic" code is derived from the English name of the language (e.g. "ger" for German instead of "de" or "deu"). In most scenarios, the "terminological" codes are preferred.
Language codes are case-sensitive and expected to be lower case.
