Details

After investigations in https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1903570 it seems we won't need to map some languages manually anymore.

Official documentation:

Changes to language code handling: When using the Locale API, language codes for Hebrew, Yiddish, and Indonesian are no longer converted to their obsolete forms (Hebrew: iw, Yiddish: ji, and Indonesian: in). When specifying the language code for one of these locales, use the codes from ISO 639-1 instead (Hebrew: he, Yiddish: yi, and Indonesian: id).

Once again the docs are wrong. On devices with Android < 15 the old language codes are used, even if we target Android 15, so we still need the mappings.
