If the "Language -" part is a constant length across all pages then
standard markup expressions with the {(substr ...)} would handle it.
I'm guessing, however, that the length of the "Language -" part
changes. In that case you could use the {(reg_replace ...)} features
of MarkupExpressionPlus
(http://www.pmwiki.org/wiki/Cookbook/MarkupExprPlus) or the {(sed
...)} features of WikiSh (http://www.pmwiki.org/wiki/Cookbook/WikiSh).
Or you could come up with your own PV that hardcodes the deletion of
the text up to the dash:
$FmtPV['$TitleShort'] = 'array_pop(explode(" - ",
FmtPageTitle(@$page["title"], $name, 1)))';
(There are probably more elegant ways to accomplish this last but this
should give you an idea where to start.)
