           Summary: Entering language code should be sufficient to select
                    the right language

In the past it was the case that when you entered a language code to add a new
page to that item, the software understood what you meant and chose the right
language.

At the moment that is changed that it searches first for what language starts
with the characters of the code. In the past we could use the language code,
than hit the tab button, pasting the page name and enter, and then it was done.
Now for no reason we need to select the right language as just entering the
language isn't functioning any more, while that is the easiest way, the
shortest way, the most efficient way and most used way of entering a new page
to an item. I estimate that 95% of the additions are added with the language
code instead of the language name. So for all these users it is very very very
very much annoying. So please put the language code in top back again. Thanks.
