The current ISO 639 code for Hebrew is "he" and no longer "iw". However the code still
returns "iw".

For historical compatibility reasons, CLD2 returns a few older or unexpected language
code spellings:
iw instead of he for Hebrew
jw instead of jv for Javanese
ku-Arab for Kurdish Sorani, ckb-Arab
ku-Latn for Kurdish Kumanji, kmr-Latn (late 2014)
lif for Limbu
ro-Cyrl for Moldavian
tlh for Klingon
zh for Simplified Chinese
zh-Hant for Traditional Chinese
zzp for Pig Latin
Feel free to write your own wrapper around a call to CLD2 if you want different codes.
