<code> - language code to validate; expected to be lowercase without leading/trailing whitespace
<target_lang_code> - language code for target language; expected to be valid; expected to be lowercase without leading/trailing whitespace

specifying <target_lang_code> may be a pointless exercise because of cldr fallback.  For example,
	mw.language.fetchLanguageName (crh, sq) -> Crimean Turkish
because the Albanian language definitions do not have an Albanian-language version of the language name
