add local language name to Special:SiteMatrix
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

I would like to have the local name of a language added to the sitematrix.
e.g. if you are viewing Special:Sitermatrix?uselang=en
Аҧсуа (Abkhaz) ab ab ab ab ab ab ab
Acèh (Acehnese) ace ace ace ace ace ace ace

e.g. if you are viewing Special:Sitermatrix?uselang=de
Аҧсуа (Abchasisch) ab ab ab ab ab ab ab
Acèh (Achinesisch) ace ace ace ace ace ace ace

As site effect, having messages with all wiki language names translated to the local language could be reused in many other cases, too.

A possible solution would be the usage of the CLDR extension which provides localised language names.

Some more tweaks/hooks are needed but should be doable.

SiteMatrix already uses cldr data if available. Should this blug be assigned to wmf staff and request cldr extension to be enabled?

Tim, you see a problem with enabling cldr?

CLDR extension is reviewed (and fixed up to that extent), so commiting so this can go live at some later date

CLDR is live, so this should be deployed.

It's not been merged into 1.17wmf1

Per Robin on bug 31043 if you use http://test2.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:SiteMatrix?uselang=nl it works

So within the next 2-3 weeks it should be live across the site
