Comment (by mtredinnick):
You're right about the need to support that use-case. We also need to be
have the current behaviour.
The language names are stored as their English versions (like every other
string in Django) and that shouldn't change. So, one problem to solve is
how to get the right translation strings in the first place. It may be
possible to rummage through every PO file for the right name at startup
and cache it in trans_real.py.
The second thing is how to make this accessible to the caller. That is
probably best done by a function available under django.util.translation.
It could be a different function to get_available_languages() because we
need both behaviours anyway and that would avoid any unnecessary
backwards-incompatibility issues.
An interesting problem to solve here is what if the resulting string (of
all the languages) is not representable in the output encoding. For
example, you will have trouble showing Chinese characters in Russia's
KOI8-R encoding. That's something we can solve in the unicode branch, I
guess, but it's worth paying attention to.
