I was thinking about that. If input-forms.xml could have a type
meaning "call this generator for a list" then we could do something
like this:
List<Array<String>> languages = new ArrayList<Array<String>>();
for (String language : Locale.getISOLanguages())
{
languages.add(new String[] {code,
Locale.forLanguageTag(language).getDisplayLanguage()});
}
return languages;
(Java-flavored pseudocode -- I haven't even tried to compile that.)
One nice thing about Java is that its maintainers pay serious
attention to i18n and tend to provide good lists of things like this.
