From:

According to ISO 639-2, the chi and ger codes are not to be used for “terminology”, but can be used for “bibliography”. This differentiation is due to when 639-2 was first established they used English to make the codes, but they corrected them afterwards to use the native spelling (in Latin alphabets). That’s why the “T” codes are in native spelling but “B” codes accept English spelling.

Since MLGT is a terminology set, it should use the “T” codes.

Somehow the MLGT language codes have been modified since the beginning.

Also changing "dut/nld" to "nld" according to ISO 639-2.
