4030	internationalization - auto translation of LANGUAGES	temp@…	nobody	"Hi

When I access LANGUAGES in a template using:
{% get_available_languages as LANGUAGES %}

And then access the plain text language name in a template, like:
{{ LANGUAGES.1.1 }}

The plain text name appears automatically translated into the current language.

For many uses this is not very useful as it is preferred to display the language name in its native language, so the user who speaks that language may recognize it and choose that option. I.e. If you are an English-speaker and viewing a Spanish language page you'll will prefer to see an option that says ""English"" rather than ""Inglés"". The way Django is currently configured one has to put in a workaround to create this behavior (personally I changed the plain text language name slightly to defeat the translation...)"
