Yes, strlang() was precisely what I was looking for. I felt I was missing
something obvious, and I cannot quite explain how I missed that when I
consulted the page. Thanks!
As for *fully automated* conversion, we can simply strip region subtags
from the language tag and then consult lexvo (e.g.,
http://www.lexvo.org/page/iso639-3/rus) to retrieve the iso639-2 tag which
is then assigned to the string via strlang().
