Use a more human name for languages

[David Planella]

Binary package hint: language-selector

Currently language-selector shows the translations of language names from iso-codes in the following format:

  language; other names (country)

I think it would make the entries a lot more readable if the "other names" part on the language name were dropped, i.e. the part after the semicolon. This would also add the benefit that the language selector of the application would be consistent with the language selector from GDM.

With this proposal languages would be shown as:

    language (country)

Also note that the Launchpad UI does not generally use the other names for a language: https://translations.launchpad.net/+languages

David, I have quite a few languages installed, and don't see the behavior. Can you please mention an example language where this applies?
