Thanks!
Applied onto main via 243ded74b adding one sentence to the =LANGUAGE=
keyword description and changing the ctan links to https.

I have added a short description of what LANGUAGE keyword value is:
"Language code of the primary document language."

I went with https. It does open at least in some cases. The problem with
CTAN certificates is not our problem. Users may still search the
relevant documents if the link is dead.

Note that we still have a number of http links in the manual. One may
want to fix them.
