Remarks
Returns a name for the locale's language that is appropriate for display to the user. If possible, the name returned will be localized for the default Locale.Category#DISPLAY DISPLAY locale. For example, if the locale is fr_FR and the default Locale.Category#DISPLAY DISPLAY locale is en_US, getDisplayLanguage() will return "French"; if the locale is en_US and the default Locale.Category#DISPLAY DISPLAY locale is fr_FR, getDisplayLanguage() will return "anglais". If the name returned cannot be localized for the default Locale.Category#DISPLAY DISPLAY locale, (say, we don't have a Japanese name for Croatian), this function falls back on the English name, and uses the ISO code as a last-resort value. If the locale doesn't specify a language, this function returns the empty string.
