I recently noticed that language *ja *is using the romanized autoglossonym
"Nihongo" in the combo box, rather than the English name for it "Japanese".
I also found "Suomi", "Svenska" ,"Russky", "Francais" and "Ellinika". The
are all anglicized romanization of autoglossonym of that language. I think
it is not clear at all especially for languages not using Latin script
(even worse if using non-phonemic writing system, e.g. at least Ellinika
can (nearly) one-to-one correspond to Ελληνικά), and it is also not
consistent since Chinese, Korean and some other languages are in English
name.
It would probably cause confusion in finding the desired language.
I disagree using English name for languages, it is also not that easy. I
think at least language combo box should contain autoglossonym.
English name + autoglossonym (Preferable):
Chinese (Simplified) 简体中文
Chinese (Traditional) 繁體中文
Japanese 日本語
Finnish Suomi
autoglossonym only (Preferable):
简体中文
繁体中文
日本语
Suomi
English name only (Not good):
Chinese (Simplified)
Chinese (Traditional)
Japanese
Finnish
current (Worse):
Chinese (Simplified)
Chinese (Traditional)
Nihongo
Suomi
