I looked around, but as far as I can find MediaWiki only has the names in their native language available.
That's right, the English names aren't stored by MediaWiki. I guess if we did that we'd have to have every language's name in every other language, which would be a huge amount of data (371 languages, so we'd need 371*371=137,641 translations).
Its not much different from adding an extension with 371 msg keys, we have like ~3K msg keys just core no? You could look at as adding 10% more messages.
I would support having localised listing of languages. it would make language selection widgets a lot easier to follow. This list could be seeded from a digital source relativity easily. What to translate wiki folks think?
