Description
At a lower priority than all the other sub-tasks, the onboarding script should perform language identification at both the project and book level for each project. This is to help catch common configuration errors that exist in Paratext projects:
- language codes not set correctly, perhaps due to copying the settings from a different project
- different languages used for different books
We don't expect that the language identifier will know the minority languages, but it should output unknown for a language it doesn't recognize, rather than reporting the closest language that it does know.

Research direction
Start by locating the onboarding script and any existing language-identification entry points in the repository. Trace how project- and book-level language settings are read, then verify that recognized languages are reported accurately and unrecognized or minority languages produce unknown rather than a closest-language match.
