I think you are needlessly criticizing Tim here, Tomas. At the
moment, there's no need for translations of all the names of the
various different languages. If people need to choose a language,
they will want to have their language presented in their language.
I'm sure that if there was some other reason to have the names of
different supported languages, Tim would be willing to do the
translations.
