Currently we don't benefit from the user-friendly names that `LanguageDescription` returns because we would always use `Language::GetNameForLanguageType`. I'm not aware of a situation where `GetDescription` should prefer the non-human readable form of the name with. This patch removes the call to `GetNameForLanguageType`.
