Currently there's no way to retrieve current language name easily in
templates. You can only use {% get_current_language ... %} filter to get
the language code (eg. 'en-us' or 'de-de').
There should be a template filter in django.templatetags.i18n to get the
"English" or "German" strings (verbose name of the language).
Example:
{{{
#settings.py:
LANGUAGES = (
('de', 'German'),
('en', 'English'),
)
#templates:
{% get_current_language as LANGUAGE_CODE %} # Existing filter. Returns en-
us if language is english.
{% get_current_language_name as LANGUAGE_NAME %} # Proposed filter. Should
return 'English' if LANGUAGE_CODE is 'en'. Basically should return the
second element of settings.LANGUAGES touples.
}}}
