Comment (by alanjacobmathew):

 **Issue 2: Languages like Tamil given twice**
 > A suggested short term workaround is to notify the respective polyglots
 teams to update the translation, so that they simply update their
 translation. That would immediately help solve this as well.

 This won't help, as the problem is Admin will find it difficult to
 understand which is Indian Tamil and Lankan Tamil. Assuming, even if both
 are 100% translated, few words remains different. An example would be
 colour and color in English US vs GB or the usage of cart and basket for
 WooCommerce.
