#12848 closed (duplicate)

language names should be kept native

Description (last modified by Ramiro Morales)

the LANGUAGES settings array holds tuples of language code and language name. This array is used in templates for language selection. By default, language names are not translated. The docs show a sample of how to translate the names into the current locale:

gettext = lambda s: s

LANGUAGES = (
    ('de', gettext('German')),
    ('en', gettext('English')),
)

Which I think is wrong. If the locale is Chinese, I won't be able to choose between Hebrew and Russian.
The attached patch chages the i18n context process so it translats every language name to its native language. I couldn't think of a way to test it so I added a new view to the example site.

seems like all the new translation files came up as /dev/null in the diff file, sorry. I'm using 'hg diff' and trying to find out what I'm doing wrong.

That's just what trac does, it's very special.

Following discussions with Jezdez, I reopen the ticket and attach a new patch. The patch includes tests that pass when run alone:

python run_tests.py templates

when the entire suite is ran, the test fails. Haven't a clue.
