I think Ihave not well understood the problem :-\. In my case I just
wondered if we could not display the list of languages in the language
of the system (not only in English, not modify the source file to
English.) Or maybe I would see the language displayed in the original
locale with a translation in parenthesis. This second solution seems to
me nicer.
