If there is just one label, this is easy enough. But in case that the user is 
looking for language es, and we have labels in zh, fa, ro and de, how should 
the software know which one to use?

My suggestion would be to use the following algorithm:

- "direct" fallbacks and variants (what we currently do)
- site content language (we do that currently, maybe we want to stop doing this)
- languages using the same script as the requested one (maybe ULS knows this), 
in order of the number of speakers (again see if ULS has this info)
- other language by the number of speakers (be prepared to see a lot of chinese)
