Sorry if I'm catching up with these a bit late. :(

The dropdown at http://documentation.openoffice.org/ displays native
languages in the correct language. e.g. German is correctly listed as
Deutsch, French as Français. We have tried to do this for each
language
listed where the NLCs have provided the correct spelling. I agree
that
having the website automatically recognize native languages would be
nice but the following thread seems to indicate that doing this
would be
problematic:
http://native-lang.openoffice.org/servlets/BrowseList?
list=dev&by=thread&from=1610035
The drop-down list on the docs homepage only lists _some_ languages
as they are written in their own language. For example, Vietnamese
is only shown as "Vietnamese", not "Việt".
How do I correct this, please?
"Correct' is not the term I would use ;-)
The problem is this: if we do it for one, we really have to do it for
all. I'd love to be able to do that, and could ask every one of the
members to send in exactly what is required. If you want to help get
the NLC projects to contribute the appropriate graphics or text (we
could use the wiki for this, then cut and paste), be my guest.
Note: The last time I did this, btw, I abandoned it after a while for
two reasons: inconsistency was confusing (Finnish vs. Suomi, for
example: different location on alphabet string) and it took a lot
longer to do; also, where does one stop? With the NLC or do we go on
to include the download pages? I'd love to have *all* the pages
sensitive to a user's linguistic configuration--but it's not so trivial.
