The language menu, from the interface preferences, allows the user to choose the language of the interface. Each language appears in the current language (English by default), followed by the native language inside parentheses.

Based on a list of languages from Wikimedia, I suspect that some languages use the wrong name, but I only speak a few of those so I’d need the help of native speakers to confirm.

The languages I suspect most of being incorrect are:

  • Abkhaz: Аԥсуа бызшәа -> Аԥсшәа
  • Kyrgyz: Кыргыз тили -> Кыргызча
  • Romanian: Român -> Română
  • Thai: ภาษาไทย -> ไทย

If you or someone you know speak any of those, please help!

I'd say change Nederlandse taal to just Nederlands yeah.
Can't comment on other languages as I don't speak them.

Hindi: मानक हिन्दी -> हिन्दी

Yes, this change is correct.
AFAIK "मानक" indicates the standard/formal form of language (i.e. "standard Hindi language"). This word is not necessary here and can be removed.

Thanks for your answers! I’ll wait a bit before creating a PR for this, in case speakers of other languages react.

@Gangneron If you want to fix a language you can have a look at #107707 for inspiration.
The files involved are:

  • locale/languages
  • scripts/modules/bl_i18n_utils/settings.py

@pioverfour For czech, Český is adjective, Čeština is noun. I guess you are going for nouns here.

Although PR #112039 shows as closed I think the only language that has been changed was for Czech (Český -> Čeština). The rest still needs to be done.

I edited the initial post to remove some languages as they were fixed (Dutch, Hindi and Estonian). I still haven’t had confirmation by native speakers about the four that remain.

Oh that makes sense. I just had a hard time following what was done and not.

I think we can change the name of the languages and correct afterwards if we have comments from users but a user of this language has never come, we say "it's correct" or "it's incorrect", so I think we can change the language names. And then see like this if everything is good we have corrected a problem and if it is not good we will know and we will have the good version
