Bug #: 42153
Summary: Languages that is active vs metalanguages vs redirects
vs ...

It should be possible to somehow check which languages are supported as they
are and which should be hard redirected to some other language. This is not
about fallback languages, but on which languages we support.
We should publish Utils::getLanguageCodes() somehow, which language we use as
replacement when a language specific string is missing, and also which one we
can convert through transliteration. Similarly we should include this
information in wbgetentities if we use it somehow. Perhaps it is simplest to
add a section about this if the requester asks for this information.
For example can strings in some language A be a replacement for some other
language B as long as an alternate string is not defined in language A.
Also, if a language variant A is only different in transliteration from
language variant B, then strings in language B can be replaced by
transliterating (converting) strings from A.
