Thanks for the snippet.

A little typo: in Line 5 it must be 'max_length' instead of 'maxlength'

Although this snippet is rather old, it still works fine... :) If you want to use I18N, you should use this:

from django.utils import translation
kwargs.setdefault('choices', [(k, translation.ugettext(v)) for k, v in settings.LANGUAGES])

Also, 5 chars is not enough anymore, for example sr-latn has 7.
