[Scummvm-devel] Translate game language description?

[Thierry Crozat]

Hi,

I had a remark from one of the person who provided a translation for the ScummVM GUI. He asked if it was possible to translate the languages in the game descriptions to the native language name (e.g. "Deutsch" instead of "German", "Italiano" instead of "Italian").
That would be consistent with what we decided to do for the language selection in the options tab. And it has the same issue I suppose, i.e. use only ASCII, characters, which means we might have to use slightly simplified spelling (e.g. "Francais" instead of "Français", "Espanol" instead of "Español") and some will either remain in english or use a transcription in the latin alphabet (e.g. chinese, russian).

I suppose these are the language descriptions defined in common/utils.cpp. So that should be an easy change to do.
What do you think?
