Bug Description

https://translations.edge.launchpad.net/+languages
Searching Latviešu or any of the translated language names (like русский for Russian or français for French) will not find them.
Only searching for English names of languages will help you to find it.

Fixing that would attract more people so translations would be faster and better finished.

This is not a duplicate of bug 5417. The problem here is that Launchpad doesn't know each language's name for itself, and should.

At the moment, we don't have all the language names in the database. We also do not show them in a nice way, so even if we had them, we'd have to fix the way we display them as well.

It should still be a relatively simple fix, and I'd be happy to guide/share a few pointers with anyone interested in contributing to Launchpad.

Note that the "anyone" referred to in comment #2 really is anyone -- Launchpad is open source; see https://dev.launchpad.net/.
