It is better to me to keep the current language names during the migration
to Zanata.

Regarding renaming itself, I think it is good to use shorter names as
possible as we can.
Using shorter names will be able to cover more areas for a language.
On the other hand, they may be various reasons to use longer names which
only
such language users know). We can delegate decisions to language
coordinators
(who I think understand the situation most).
