I've been doing the following with a similar problem:


MyStructure: [
           ["US" ["USA" "English" "Spanish"]  ]
           ["DE"  ["Germany" "German"]  ]
           ["NZ" ["New Zealand" "English"]  ]
            ]

search: func [search-term [string!]][
 foreach item MyStructure [
  if find first item search-term [
  return second item
  ]
 ]
]

Example:

  >> search "NZ"
== ["New Zealand" "English"]

>> search "DE"
== ["Germany" "German"]

I hope this is what you were asking for.
