Untranslated menu on non-English wiki says default interface language is "English (same as content)"
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

MediaWiki:Jquery-uls-ext-uls-display-settings-anon-same-as-content is "English (same as content)", qqq says «Replace "English" with the autonym of your language».
On a non-English wiki, if the message is not localised (e.g. ta.wiki right now), the menu saying "Display language: English (same as content)" is incorrect.

From technical perspective, to avoid showing incorrect language name when fallback translations are used, (and I think this is what Amir was going to suggest) we can replace the hard coded name of the language with a variable.

The downside with that is inflexibility with grammar, but at least in Finnish this context doesn't need inflection.
