I understand it is a demo code. My question was - getLanguageDisplay expects
language as its argument, anyway. In that case, why do we need to create a
new locale object or do a setLocale on the old one as you suggest. I guess
these are required to get the language name in the local language itself. A
better way might be to output the combination (with an optional argument)
and eliminate the necessity to do a setLocale or create new locale objects:
العربية (Arabic)
Deutsch (German)
English
Español (Spanish)
Français (French)
日本語 (Japanese)
Nederlands (Dutch)
Polski (Polish)
Português brasileiro (Brazilian Portugese)
Русский (Russian)
简体中文 (Simplified Chinese)
<http://framework.zend.com/manual/zh/index.html> I understand a native
speaker knows their language in their local language and does not need its
English description but it may be easy on the eyes of other language
speakers as there is always an English description to follow it.

The example was demonstrating the idea only and you can get the same
result using one object if you want.
inside the loop, instead of creating new object for each language; just
use :
$locale->setLocale($language);
this will change the used locale.
