Description
User story
As an editor of a journal that publishes articles in multiple sign languages (DSDJ), I need to be able to encode more languages than just sgn ("sign languages"). These are the ones I need most:
- American Sign Language - ase
- International Sign - ils
- Swedish Sign Language - swl
- French Sign Language - fsl
- Italian Sign Language - ise
- Japanese Sign Language - jsl
Proposed solution
Support the full range of ISO-639-3 using Django Languages Plus.
Alternatives
Add just the requested languages to our current hard-coded list of choices.

Start by locating the current hard-coded language choices and reviewing how Django Languages Plus could provide the requested language codes. Done means the platform supports the listed sign languages, or the full ISO-639-3 range if that proposal is adopted, without losing existing choices.
