The second field is the babel name of the language, and it is not always
equal to the first field (the LyX name).

Why not add new fields to the languages file (ispell name, keymap name) ?
The only drawback is decreasing the readability of this file.
A solution for that is to use the following idea: for most languages (e.g.
english) the babel/ispell name is equal to the LyX name, so in this case, we
do not need to repeat it:
#LyX name Screen name RTL encoding code babel ispell
canadien "French Canadian" false iso8859-1 fr_CA frenchb french
english "English" false iso8859-1 en *
(the * marks the end of the enlish fields).
