Actually, there are two languages in question:
- programming language
- user interface language

That could be part of the file name. For instance, on FUNET,
/pub/cbm/c64 contains programs that run on the Commodore 64.
However, it's better to have that explicitly in the metadata, as
there can be programs that can be run on multiple platforms,
or programs that run only on certain models (i.e., PET 30xx or SX-64).
