Ok. It's just my boilerplate text. :-)

Ok.

Ok, Carlos (who maintains the translation status pages code) needs to
add the language name to the code. Carlos, can you fix that, and also
the other language names missing?

No, "tk" is Turkmen. When in doubt, always check the official homepage
for ISO 639 language codes: http://www.loc.gov/standards/iso639-2/.

Tokelau appears to not have any two-letter ISO 639-1 code but only a
three-letter ISO 639-2 code: "tkl".
