Description:
------------
Some languages have the first letter capitcalized, while
others do not. For example:

in Language/en.php:
'es' => 'Spanish',

in Language/es.php:
'es' => 'español',

in Language/fr.php:
'es' => 'espagnol',

And so forth. I thought this may be a difference between
English and those languages, but the capitalization is
inconsistent even in the same language:

in Language/es.php:
'da' => 'danés',
'dv' => 'Divehi',
'dz' => 'Dzongkha',
'sk' => 'eslovaco',

I think that the language names should be consistent, and
I believe the correct thing is to have the first letter
capitalized.
