Hi :) Sorry to say but i've had a couple of messages off-list from people who have had trouble dealing with the CLDR people. Not all community projects are as open and welcoming as they like to believe. It's a shame but it happens [shrugs]
We thought about having 2 columns, one entirely in whichever language and the other with each item in a different language was considered and rejected by the Ubuntu project for their installer. It's a LOT of work and difficult to keep track of all the different parts of the jigsaw puzzle. So, although it might be a nice idea i think we should drop that idea too and just have the 1 column, as originally suggested; " I believe those language names should be changed to the target names chars for all UIs, like the language listed here: http://zh-cn.libreoffice.org/international-sites/ (see the second column) I am thinking about this because of the following reason: * It's a waste of time for localizers to translate every foreign language names to their own locale. Even translated, it may not be correct. * In case the users are trying to switch between languages, there may be confusion (for example, if I want to test something in Franch UI, and after that I want to change back to Chinese UI it's really difficult to find the right one in the list box. " Sorry my opinions have turned out to be a bit rubbish so far!
