Getting Language Code/Locale from Facebook Graph API

Question

I have succesfully retrieved a language that a Facebook User knows using the Graph API

the JSON looks like the following.

languages =     (
    {
        id = 105541139480550;
        name = Indonesian;
    },
    {
        id = 106059522759137;
        name = English;
    },
    {
        id = 103088979730830;
        name = "Mandarin Chinese";
    }
);

Those are array of Page of that language.

For example:

http://facebook.com/pages/-/106059522759137 will redirect to the english language page

How do I get the language code from that from example "en" for english?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Language_code

Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!

There's no endpoint to get the language codes of the languages object's entries. You can query the locale of the user object, but not for each language. I guess you'll need a mapping in your own application between the language on Facebook and the language code.
