Another solution is to use libicu (http://www.icu-project.org/) via php-intl extension (http://docs.php.net/manual/en/intro.intl.php). ICU have already imported those translations from CLDR. See http://demo.icu-project.org/icu-bin/locexp?_=fr&SHOWLanguages=1#Language... , for an example of french translations.
With php-intl, use, http://docs.php.net/manual/en/locale.getdisplaylanguage.php: to get localized display of language name http://docs.php.net/manual/en/locale.getdisplayscript.php: localized display of script name http://docs.php.net/manual/en/locale.getdisplayregion.php: localized display of region name
MediaWiki then could have magic variables for these translations.
help localising the Babel extension... We truly want it to become available as a WMF extension :)
I am still puzzled what you want to use it for.. There are many projects that have already done exactly this and many are available under a free license as well.. Thanks, GerardM
