Change Details

As part of the work on the MinT for Wiki Readers MVP (T359072), an option to "Explore languages" (T359863) is provided so that users can identify the languages where there is more content available, and which sections are covered. In this way, they can decide which language version to pick to machine translate and learn the most relevant aspects on the topic. The initial implementation lists the languages by using their name in their own language (autonym). That is, Japanese is listed as "日本語" regardless of the UI language. In the current context, it is likely that people using machine translation may not know the language they are translating from. This ticket proposes to list languages in the Explore languages view by using their name in the UI language. In this way, a user using the tool in English will see the language listed as "Japanese" instead of "日本語". |Current (for UI in EN)|Proposed (for UI in EN)| |---|---| |{F57778145, size=full}|{F57778148, size=full} | In the event of language names not being available in the expected language, a reasonable fallback (by the localization infrastructure or using the autonym) should work.
