See my earlier mail in reply to Khaled. It's probably a bug, and it
sounds like https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=62738

See Caolan's reply about length of subtag names.

Because there is no string resource for it. For tags without string
resource the plain tag is displayed. We might try to pull in
descriptions for languages, scripts and countries from various installed
packages, including ICU, liblangtag and iso-codes, but still may end up
with unknows, or, in some countries worse than not having any name at
all, with untranslated names.
