Localized Language Names in Language Selection

[vinaybadgujar102]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. Currently, our language selection modal displays language names in their English form, which may not be user-friendly for individuals who prefer their language names in their local language. It is a standard practice in UI design to provide localized language names.

Example: See comments screenshot from Signal.

Describe the solution you'd like displays language names in their respective local languages within the language selection modal.

@vinaybadgujar102 Do you have any other references than Google? If I was speaking Chinese, French or Spanish I wouldn't know where to click on this Google site.
They assume everone knows English.

What do you propose exactly?

• use location guessing
• use browser setting (we already put that language on top and pre-selected)
• display each language in native form

Maybe easiest if you make an example.

you can checkout signal's language change option. the language names are written in local language. also facebook, todoist, and many applications uses same design style.

Yeah this makes sense to me! With the browser's language pre-selected at the top.
