You should add the "format" attribute to the HumanLanguage table definition
in order to tell it how to represent records that reference the table. It
works for the auth_user table because auth.define_tables() does set the
"format" attribute for that table.
db.define_table('HumanLanguage',
Field('languageName', 'string'),
Field('comments', 'string'),
format='%(languageName)s', redefine=True,)
You can also explicitly set the "represent" attribute for the two reference
fields in question.
