Okay, recap:
We only display languages on CLDR. If possible they appear (and are searchable) in the language of the preferences and the language code. If not translated then they appear in English in the dropdown.
When selected and saved it appears as "text string (name of language in english)". regardless if CLDR has a translation for it or not and how it appeared to the user in the dropdown.
Languages that are not on this list, don't appear at all, but are secretly savable.
Things that need to happen:
- Languages not in CLDR but that have been approved by the phabricator process need to show up in the drop down as well
- What is shown in the drop down and what appears after having saved should be consistent
- Decide what to do with languages that don't have a translation
In the meeting we talked about preferably showing the language name in the language that is selected in the settings. If that's not available I think it makes sense to show the language code rather than showing it in the language of the language because that will often not be readable. Reverting to English as a default may seem sensible for us, but this would put non-English speakers at a disadvantage.
I suggest another meeting to decide this. @Lydia_Pintscher
