Description

In Wikidata on items, the left column of the description area (where labels, descriptions and aliases are added) shows the language. With my settings for Dutch, most of the languages there are in Dutch, but some are not and shown in English instead. (expand example + click All entered languages/Alle ingevoerde talen) Two examples are:

pt-br Brazilian Portuguese -> Braziliaans-Portugees (submit this to CLDR)
be-tarask Belarusian (Taraškievica orthography) -> Wit-Russisch (Tarasjkevitsa orthografie) Can be added to LocalNames

Where can I change this? Or can this be changed?

Review June/July 2021:

Tasked noted on Wikidata:De_kroeg#language_names_in_Dutch (June 15)

Other items that may be worth checking: Q7411, Q55

Brazilian Portuguese -> Braziliaans-Portugees

This should be fixed in CLDR, as pt-br exists in CLDR but does not have a Dutch name

Belarusian (Taraškievica orthography) -> Wit-Russisch (Tarasjkevitsa orthografie)

Either add it to CLDR, or add to a file (to be created) LocalNamesNl.php at https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/diffusion/ECLD/browse/master/LocalNames/

@Romaine if you want to do a list of names, we can add it.

Esc3300 moved this task from Backlog to MediaWiki (language names: LocalNames) on the Language codes board.Jun 12 2021, 12:38 PM

change priority given the absence of a list to update (we could change the two mentioned above).

Left a note at Wikidata:De_kroeg#language_names_in_Dutch

You may find some missing names using nl:Module:Lang, function name_from_code.

Ideally we would have a list here of language names in Dutch you feel are missing, similar to "pt-br" mentioned above.

If it appears in English instead of Dutch at https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q55?uselang=nl it's missing.

Added missing translations. Language codes that are present in CLDR need to be updated upstream, language codes not present in CLDR can be added to LocalNamesNl.php

For codes present in CLDR, but undefined, I think both can be done as updates at CLDR can take several years. For the person who created the task doesn't mind waiting, we could wait for CLDR.

Another approach could to start from a more complete version of "LocalNames" to complete LocalNamesNl.php:

Values there complete:
