Subject: Hebrew marked as 'iw' on Google translate

Hi,

I was just looking at http://translate.google.com/
and noticed that the language code they use for hebrew is 'iw' and not 'he'.
which would be the ISO 639-1 standard.

Any idea why are they using a different code?
Is it only Hebrew or do other languages have
code that is different from the ISO 639-1 in the Google
translation tool?

if there is some other standard where Hebrew is actually 'iw'
that might be the one Google is using?

regards
  Gabor
