I think we use "fre" in Perseus texts? I've never used "fra"

Not an objection, but it will require a lot of regularization in all of the repos.

hi @lcerrato I checked in with Charles and did some Unicode searching, the most current standard is actually for two letter language codes, but "fra" is considered correct rather than "fre" if you are not using "fr". It might be good to standardize the language across the repos as MVP is pulling from all of them at this point. I'm happy to take the lead on that!

Then it might be better to convert to two letter codes and do it once? I only worry about conflicts when we start moving into lexica and primary/secondary Perseus stuff that is in progress.

hi @lcerrato. That is a very valid point. I think I will finished the few pull requests for those files messing up the display in Beta and then do a overall corpus language update after that to two letter codes?
