Encoding HLS with language French

Question

Hello, it seems that changing the language code in the output for HLS is not fully suported.   
my last encoding was with a french subtitle. I updated the output track Subtitle LANGUAGE to French.  
  
The Language code is updated in the outputted master m3u8 to "fra" but the description is still "English"  
  
Here the master m3u8 generated by mediaconvert (please look to the last line **#EXT-X-MEDIA:TYPE=SUBTITLES** ) :

```

Hi,  
  
The NAME label in the manifest is configurable by the Description field next to the the Language field.   
MediaConvert uses "English" as default setting if the Description field is blank.   
  
If you want to change the NAME label, change Description field to FRA.
