Regarding 1. you can perhaps look into how Juris-M deals with language 
variants: 
https://juris-m.readthedocs.io/en/latest/dev-sync-simplification.html
Looks quite solid. Basically it looks like this:
field--language-variant
title--he-alalc97 => title, Hebrew, transliterated according to the Library 
of Congress rules.

Best,
Denis
