The i18n.txt documentation says (bold mine):
Each RequestContext has access to three translation-specific variables:
- LANGUAGES is a list of tuples in which the first element is the
language code and the second is the language name (in that language).
However, the languages name seem to actually be in English (with default settings). When this test script is run:
#!/usr/bin/python
from django.conf import settings
settings.configure()
from django.template import RequestContext
print '\n'.join('%-5s %s' % l for l in RequestContext(None)['LANGUAGES'])
this is what is output on the terminal:
