[Bug 1786881] Re: Languages always shown with English names

[Robert Ancell]

The design [1] is that they should show in the native language. That is
what I've seen on other systems too (e.g. Android). It makes sense to me
- if I only speak Mandarin then there's no reason why I would recognise
the english word for that.

Title:
  Languages always shown with English names

Status in gnome-control-center package in Ubuntu:

Bug description:
  [Impact]
  Selecting a language from Settings always shows the names in English (e.g. German) instead of the name in the native language (e.g. Deutsch).

  [Test Case]
  1. Open Settings
  2. Go to "Region & Language" panel
  3. Click on "Language"

  Expected result:
  A list of languages is available, using the native language for each item, e.g. "English, Deutsch, ..."

  Observed result:
  A list of languages is available, using the English translations for each item, e.g. "English, German, ..."
